skirts & spats - fitted!

well im not sure whether to not to start a project thread but im not sure how long it`ll take, so just thought id share some updates on my N/A 6 speed.....

Bought some original OEM skirts & spats from Rogier on here (cant remember the username lol). Got them sent over from Holland. They were in red before but today picked the car back up after having the skirts & spats fitted, also took the rust out of the back wheel arch and had the laquer sorted as it was peeling on real passenger quater panel.

Must say im well impressed.... will update thread with pics when theyre uploaded.

Now all im waiting for is the Whifbitz front carbon splitter, and also a new set of wheels to go on, then i`ll be detailing her and getting some proper pictures up.

Awesome, can't wait.

hhmm.. odd, right now mine is at the bodyshop shop getting my spats and skirts fitted and painted (not oem though) but my carbon front lip from wb is allready on!

should be good seeing some pics of yours.

Marc - dont suppose yours is silver too is it? lol

Heres some piccies, pic quality is poor due to them being done from the blackberry:

Really pleased with the outcome and how the car looks now, just need that splitter lol

They fit really well.. nice job!

That looks superb! And mine is black.

thanks guys like i said im really happy with the results. for anyone who needs a body spray shop in Bristol area, go to Sprayed It on Cruisehall Road

How do you fit the spats then? Obviously theres no removable section on the rear bumper, so it looks as if you have to latch it on.

looks cool mate

wow, you have them fitted and painted already[sHOCK][/sHOCK]

Looks superb.

Regards

Rogier

you have the non sideskirt sections for sale, from in front of the wheels?

Attero: On mine there was some measley standard kind of skirts, not like the ones above tho, not much to them, they were screwed into the bottom of the rear bumper and these skirts just screwed in when taking the flimsy things off, so im sure it must be something standard somehow.... i`ll go have a look.

Rogier: Thanks again mate - 100% salesfeedback is what i'd give if i was a paid member but at present im not so i`ll have to sing your praises here instead lol. What do you mean by infront of the wheels, you mean the back wheels the section infront of them with the kind of hole in?? I do have all the previous items though yes should you want any.

Ive also been today polishing up the stainless NUR spec exhaust as it had all kinds of road muck on it. was a horrible brown colour.... so got some alloy wheels cleaner and went to work. Not quite finished yet but its a long job to do and looks so much better, just a few more small bits to work off.

Also fitted my new rear lights today..... bought them from Keron - again 100% feedback for what was purchased. They have the black surround as opposed to the grey. I changed them as my left was leaking in water and these look superb. Will go nicely with the rest of the carbon bits i get on the car.

Now im about to go out, give the girl a good wash, scrath t-cut as the front and back bumpers have kind of swirl marks on and look like the pain is lightly cracked so will see if that works, then tonight im fitting the front de-cat and treating the front lights to get that horrible yellowy look off. making good progress now on how i want her to look.

Attero,

Heres a pic of how the spat is fitted from undernath.... there is a braket but unsure if this is the only bolt holding it in, unless my mate used some kind of glue for the rest im not sure?

From the factory, the top edge is held on with double sided sticky tape. I kid you not!

I'd change that air filter bud, won't be doing you alot of good, best filtration (and one that many will recommend) is the stock air box.

really?

They are that bad?

jesus i best get the stock one back then....
