i have noticed that the clips on the bodykit often come loose etc, or the whole kit gets knicked by some chav cunt. what is the best way to keep your bodykit intact and on the car?

maybe get an alarm so when a person try's to nick something it will go off and catch them.

put it inside where the clips are and it should be pretty firm on so they can't pinch any of the kit then.

i have got the same problem on mine mate, especially on 2 of the arches. on the front drivers side i have got water in my side repeater due to this, but i think my clips have broken, is the scrappy the best place to look?:y:

all the clips downt he scrappy are either broke or the whole kits have been knicked before you get the chance, seems like going to need to get the clips from citroen, remove the whole kit and then tigerseal the clips in when replacing it

clips are cheap as chips from citreon, speak to someone nicely in the workshop and they might even give you a handful

Be careful as many Citroen parts places now dont have the original clips (called hog ring as proper technical name) anymore, they were replaced with a new style which were alot stronger against snapping.

The problem with these is that they dont hold the VT kit flush to the car like the old clips did and there is a very noticeable gap between the VT kti and your cars panels.
