Just had my side skirts fitted and it's not a 100% fit with small gaps here and there since it's fibreglass .. So I need to fill in some small 1-2mm sections and I was wondering if there's any sealant that would work well ?? it would have to be black in colour as my car is black and not crack in the sun/rain (atleast not for a few years)

any tips ? cheers

whoa, builders products are a big massive no no. Shaving and working the fibre glass, shaving and sometimes adding is the correct way to do it.

But if you must seal the Urathane/ Sika , Sikaflex from a automotive place is the go.

this is usually black and the reason its a bad idea is painting skirts, bars etc on the car is not the right way to go about it.

but if you are make sure you do get a automotive sikeflex/urathane and make sure its not silicone based!!

there's an automotive version of the sikaflex stuff as posted above? it doesn't state that this product is for any particular industry so I'm not sure if they have an automotive one ..do they ?

Speaking of which I do need to get the side skirts resprayed as carmate's spraypainter is a f**king retard (it's the worst paintjob ever!) Can this be done with the skirts still on the car as they've been glued on...

    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.

    • Isn't there a PAR engineering gearset that has closer to stock ratios? And they claim they'll do whatever ratios you want.
