If you are wanting to hold the kit on with the clips. You would be best to bond the clips on with something like 'tiger seal'. The hardest bit will be getting the clips in the exact place on the sills and doors.

The way i did squigs skirts the other week was to fit all the clips to the skirt and then a blob of glue on the back of each clip. then you dont have to drill the car and they will be in the right place

you could get the propper clips but some black self tappers underneath will be fine, id just try and get the proper clips for either end as they are on show
