downhuman Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Anyone got these fitted? Considering getting some? Do they literally 'stick on'? Any pics from any owners? Cheers, Rob This is what I'm referring to: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370326791229?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I have a set waiting to go on, you have to take off your old ones and either stick or bond these on. I'm using a really good bonding tape from work called butyl tape. Sticks like @*!# to a blanket The quality of the sills is excellent, beautiful finish. I got mine directly from ep racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhuman Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 So you remove the plastic kick plate only, then bond to the paint? Is that right? Easy job? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downhuman Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Arran - are you going to retro fit a badge to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'm going to leave them plain, looks a lot nicer Will be easy to fit, first of all take the old ones off, then clean the paint underneath and around with either shampoo or an apc, make sure it's completely dry, then depending on how your going to attach them it's probably best to let them bond into position by leaving some tape over them for a few hours. Once done stand back and admire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Not sure what make my CF ones were are I got them 2nd hand but mine just replaced the OEM ones no bonding or anything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhuman Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 How do the old ones come off mate? One screw and then 'pop' off the clips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Dont think there were any screws.... I think I just pulled off the lower door trim and yanked them off : shrug: I have the old ones in the cupboard hang on will take a pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Here you go... There may have been a screw here? Can't remember either a screw or a plastic clip... And here you can see where the clips are so you know where to give it a good yank :wink: 4 clips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Here you go fella No screw just a plastic popper I pulled off the platic trim, be careful as it is a very thin flimsy bit, but you can see from the pic the white bits where it is held down so where to apply the pressure : wink: And then lift up the rubber door seal and your there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhuman Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 oooh, nice thanks. The Goki ones just seem to be 'smooth' so dunno what make yours are? Are they 'real' carbon or dinoc / dipped OEM plates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironhide Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 oooh, nice thanks. The Goki ones just seem to be 'smooth' so dunno what make yours are? Are they 'real' carbon or dinoc / dipped OEM plates? They look like real CF to me, you can tell by the weave. The stoking ones are just plain, but you could add a Z badge to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Thanks Jim I think Yes they are the real deal, CF replacement parts. As I said they just fit where the OEM ones came off so not sure why these other ones need bonding etc unless they are just a cover If they are just a cover I would just use 3M tape as then they will be easy to remove, not like they are going to fly off anywhere is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I only have about 20+ bits of CF in/on my Zed so does that really make me a whore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Very much Dave, iirc I also shared the carbon whore title with my last zed haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
