I've just tried fitting a set to my car. Has anybody else successfully fitted a set?

I'm having trouble self tapping the final screw to the chassis, tried drilling it. Took the wheel off to try and drill without doing it so awkwardly and still couldn't get the screw in.

Anybody with any advice?

Heres an idea, I'll use a High Speed Steel drill bit to drill it instead of using a wood drill bit!

Should have just used Surerglue, no drilling required :D

Now fitted after acquiring the correct drill piece and I must say they look the dogs.

Highly recommended.

I've got the same ones, I don't think mine stick out that much... I can't remember if there was a front and rear set or whether they were the same?!
