Old and new

Hi,
I want to fit the 2015-16 V8 R wider side extensions/skirts under the doors to my 2013 V8 S convertible, has any body done this, or know if it's possible. The dealer doesn't know, the parts man doesn't know.... Help !
One of the reasons for this, is that it protects the paintwork on the wheel arch better than the narrow skirt and looks fab.
Thanks,
Coughtim

This would be interesting as I am also curious if they would fit?

Any sideskirt extension should fit any model. It's just a case of removing the existing skirt and replacing with the new
I recently fitted 400 MY18 series onto my V6S MY14 and they are a straight fit, even having a locating peg and hole in sills and skirt to match

I'd guess and stand to be corrected the locating bolts are in the same position on all sill extensions, else Jaguar is just making it hard for themselves
It's more difficult if you don't have any skirt extensions to start with (like me) as you have to template the bolt holes from the skirt to the sill and that's a real PITA to align around 18 per side..

Do your existing sills have skirts? If not then I don't think you'll have the holes in the sills for any of the side skirts. That's why the dealer had to give me 400 Sport skirts for free as per my other thread... They mistakenly ordered sills with the holes in them for the skirts.

But if you've already got skirts and just want to swap them for different ones then I think you're fine as per above post.

So If I am understanding correctly, I would need to buy a whole side panel (Like attached picture) with the skirts as the skirt extension would not fit since I do not already have skirts on my sills.

That's my understanding with what just happened with my car. It's the reason they ended up giving me the skirts for free because they ordered the wrong side sill covers.

But I'd double check with Jaguar themselves just in case

Did you manage to remove the Ally tread plates without buggering them up?
From my findings they have to be removed to get to a few hidden fasteners...PITA

Don’t recall removing them. If I did then certainly didn’t damage them

So a pair of new Side skirts from 5.0l V8 Compressor side panels which have extended side panels already on them, would fit on me 3.0 V6?

Like the ones below in the pic:

Kindly bumping this if anyone knows
