Side skirts that use factory bolts

Are there any side skirts that use the factory bolt locations?
I prefer not to use self tapping screws, and don't want deal with tape or bond.
I have an LCI but from what I understand side skirts are the same for both.

The OEM side skirts use rivets not self tappers.

Looks very neat and tidy from the underside once fitted.

RW carbon at one point had oem mounting locations for there only side skirt option. Not sure if that is still the case.

Kies Motorsports might have some skirts with factory fitment too.

Not true, they need to be drilled and glued.
I did retrofit of OEM ones (i bought them from dealership) on my G20 few years ago.

Here are BMW install instructions for OEM:

I have these on my G20 as well. I took it that OP was asking for the regular side skirts not the M Performance or Replicas.

Right, I was looking for side skirt extensions, not rocker panels. I checked Kies Motorsports installation videos and they use tape and self tappers.

Is it reasonable to think that tape alone is enough to hold these on? If factory bolts aren't an option, tape seems like the next best thing compared to having to drill...in my opinion
