Fitting b8 sill trims / blades ??

[cyberstretch]

Hi all.

I was hoping to find and fit some 2nd hand s-line sill blades to my SE saloon. Would I be right to assume that they clip onto the car by way of a fitting kit available from audi ?

Thanks people

Thanks for the detailed answer. Was hoping it bonded to the car. Not keen on drilling holes in the car so might have to find someone with more cojones than me !

A few people have used double sided 3m tape with no problem, if your worried additionally you could put a blob of sikaflex where each clip would go.

I bought my blades ages ago just can't be bothered to fit them lol
