Hi everyone. Any ideas or tips on how these are fitted? Does the whisker slide on from the side, or push and clip on from above? Either way the clips are mighty large for the channel they're meant to fit in. Cheers, Daz.

The clips are riveted to the body and the trim is push on from the front. They’re a very tight fit.

Cheers Tupers. They do indeed look as if they will be tight. May be a stupid question but which way are the clips to be orientated? Open end to the body, or facing the clip?

This Mk1 Forum thread linked below is very useful for whisker fitting instructions as it can be very tricky to do well, some prefer making bolt on clips to prevent paint damage, etc as detailed in the thread.....but to access the 'Technical Talk' section of the Mk1 Forum you need to register:-
