Post by: neimsn on 14 December 2008, 22:39:18: Thanks for vote of approval, I have been really worried about ruining the look of the car took ages to make and fit them, played for hours on my Pc messing with designs trying to find one that suits the car.

Cheers

Title: Re: Side skirts fitted
Post by: CateraMV6 on 15 December 2008, 11:39:07: Not so sure about the look of those, they look too squared off and the car has too many round lines on it... but I guess they are not too bad... once you put on some bigger wheels and you lower it... and maybe add a rear piece then I think it will turn out looking quit eunique
Title: Re: Side skirts fitted
Post by: neimsn on 15 December 2008, 17:02:26: The rear section is on the drawing board at the moment,and to be honest I don't expect everyone to like it but the thing is i do, beauty is in the eye as they say.
Being unique was what I was looking for so in that respect its job done.
Obviously if i was loaded then it would have been Irmscher all the way but I ain't loaded so you make do with what is affordable and fairly pleasing to the eye, this little project cost less than £100 so I am happy.

You mean you made the skirts or just fitted & sprayed them yourself :-?
Title: Re: Side skirts fitted
Post by: neimsn on 20 December 2008, 16:49:07: Made the skirts and front lip myself from scratch the skirts were easy but I had to make a jig for the front because of the amount of curve, had to heat and shape the material and when cooled down it kept the formed shape so fitted neatly to the original bumper without being under tension.

Title: Re: Side skirts fitted
Post by: neimsn on 21 December 2008, 19:47:48: any idea what the colour is called i used vauxhall star silver from halfords they only had two options looks like i got the wrong one, but the other looked darker.

Post by: Albatross on 22 December 2008, 22:11:44: Coolio. I like the fact that you've made them yourself. I might be in the market for a rear apron. I'll bring my 19" snowflakes down to you to have a look if you want to see how they will look on yours for a measure up mate if you like.
