Sorry to swarm you with questions BMW haha.

For these skirts, did you need to redrill holes into the body?

I know base fits need drilling if they install side skirts.

Hi,
no redrill holes for Sports,
very easy to install
If you want to get one, you have to act fast,
last time I bought one they only have one in blue, gray and one more color,
it is already discontinued by Mugen...
