I think they are box type. Not my cup of tea & can cost shed loads to fit if they don't fit well. |

The other aspect is that most buyers will assume that the sideskirts are hiding a multitude of sins.. so if you have drilled into those nice original and tasteful sills that porsche gave the car on its birth it might be a bit late in the day to change your mind. Adam |

If they're genuine (or very good copies perhaps), then they'll fit perfectly well using Sikaflex. |
