Look really good. Did you make them your self or modify standard ones?

Hi guys, found this post though the search, wondering how the side pods are actually fixed to the body and also the 3 slits on the rear,clam each side of the rear tail lights?

I have order some from SWLC.

Is there a template for this as well or does some one do this?

Any help appreciated.

Any tips on adhering these to my M12.
Is adding mesh necessary or is leaving open inlet fine?
Thanks guys.

Mine are unmeshed and I think it looks unfinished. Over winter I'm meshing mine.

Mine appear to be held on with screws from the inside, but bonding them on appears to be the normal way of doing it

That was my thought,I need to figure out where to obtain some mesh and how to keep it in place.
Thanks

When I fitted mine I used mesh, glued and screwed them on.
I used a piece of cardboard scribed to the shape of the body as a guide, shaped the mesh and glued it to the inside of the pods first.
A piece of rubber to cover the sharp edges so it didn't mark the paint.
You'll need to cut out the original mesh and remove the part that's bonded on unless your planning on cutting it all out like the M400, I couldn't bring myself to butchering the body.
Good luck!
