VP Calais spats onto Berlina

[Pickled]

I recently purchased a pair of VP Calais rear arch spats and I'm curious to know if anyone has had any success putting them on a Berlina?

I don't have the brackets they usually sit on as they're spot welded to the car.

The side closest to the bumper seems pretty straight forward, but the other side closest to the rear doors has no where to drill/pop rivet onto.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Either get factory bracket s or make ur own and weld them on

would be pretty easy as its three 10mm bolts through a piece of steel.... i skipped all that mess and just bought a calais

Yeah although this Berlina was a bargain so I couldn't pass it up, and I pretty much got the spats for dirt cheap also.

I might try making up my own brackets out of tin or something.

go to the original car drill out the spot welds, remove plate and weld it into your belina done.

All the door moulds/chroming/pin stripe what ever you got will line up fine, it the VQs that dont match as the chrome's lower and on the VQ its higher

They will be going on a VP Berlina and yes they line up perfectly with the bumper/door moulds.

Looks like I'll have to look for a pair of brackets now.

Just found these on ebay. Looks like they have 2 upright bolts to go straight into the lip of the guard. I guess no bracket is needed!

back in the days when i had my VP, i bought the spats as well. My VP was an exec and i just used self tapper screws on either ends and the top to hold it in place. Just note that (i'm not sure for berlina's), but the spats from the calais don't match up with exec's (maybe berlina's too). but my old VP was white and i took all the door strips and everything off so you couldn't really tell that it didn't match. I wouldn't bother with getting a bracket.
