Question Question for people with Veilside V1 sides

So I got my Veilside V1 CF underwings yesterday and I'm having a little trouble putting the front pieces on. I put on the back pieces today with no problems but couldn't figure out this problem. I know that these just bolt on with the stock bolts that hold up the OEM skirts. Now my problem is that the front hole on the front underwing doesn't have a bolt, it has one of those plastic clips like in the pic. And that plastic clip doesn't fit in the CF piece, its too big. I tried to shove it in there and just got it stuck half way, then it took me forever to pull it out. Why doesn't the front have a bolt like all the other holes instead of that plastic clip? I'd like to hear from people who have these and how they put their front pieces on. If you don't have these but know how to do it, please let me know. Thanks for the help!

back ones fit just fine..sorry for the blurry pic


thats the hole with the plastic clip


plastic clip thingy

I'd rather bolt it in, I don't think the clip will hold very well. That's why I want hear see how other people who have these put theirs on

+1 works good. make sure you use a lock washer though.

+1. That's what I had to do also. Like someone else said, use a lock washer. You'll have to wedge you fingers inside the side skirt behind the corner of the wheel well to hold the nut in place. It's a little tough, but not impossible. Just take your time.
