Simples, pop rivets as per the factory your wings should have the holes needed.

If you want the complete look you will need the sill covers aswell.

This was my GTI, I took the sill covers and arches off and changed the door mouldings, as I think it looked cleaner without, if you car is not a GTI I cannot see the point of fitting them anyway.
