About 3 weeks ago, I was approached by irmscher to fit all the kit to the Insignia...so, following a week of headscratching at the very poor ( or just plain non -exsistant) instructions and mystifying packets of clips here's the final result....

The grille that took forever..

Irmy splitter..just bonds on, but we've added hidden fixings for anti theft and security..;)

The sidesills from hell...no instructions, wrong shaped lower steel brackets ( threw theirs and made my own) and confusing fittings..oh, and no instructions..Quite simple job then..:D...top edge is simply bonded on, hence the tape while it cures.. we used white to blend in with the car.

if you fit a lower splitter, don't forget to fit the revised spacer and longer screw arrangement for this lower arch liner fixing..

And, the finished result..:)..they looked happy when they came to pick it up....:D..

More to come, when Irmscher Germany send us some more boxes..:D.. As thats all they can sell at the moment, there's a hold-up on the rest being TUV approved.

oh, they know they were shocking.... but there are other kits out there with the same clips in.. lets hope they change the design.:) these sills were only the 3rd set ever fitted and the first set in the U.K. so any feedback they get is used.

been told today that the rear spoilers are on their way over, so it's out with the spraygun again..
