Lude Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 my OEM skirts need replacing, seen some skirts on ebay, cheap enough £70, are these going to be a nightmare to fit, as in not lign up, scrape the doors, be too long for the car etc etc etc or are skirts the easiest part to manufacture and not a lot to go wrong with?

Supranature Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Post a link up to the new skirts. Are they brand new? Hopefully one of the many bodywork experts can contribute but I would imagine ill-fitting skirts may be a nightmare due to the lack of flex within the length. Best to buy a 2nd hand set which are a known fitment quantity and quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Alot of sideskirts dont fit mate, most need work. we have had cases where the sides need to be sent back, as the companys who make them use the mould so much it causes imperfections/twists in the finished article.

SupraDan24 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 He doesnt sound very condfident with them tbh. I would be very surprised if they did fit, or were decent quality tbh. I got some replica OEMs not so long ago of Ebay, the fitment was "okay", not great, but the quality was poor. If you held them up to the light you could see through them where there wasnt anywhere near enough fibreglass layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 If your buying skirts from eBay get them off car.mad.stylings if he hasn't got any for sale message him and he will make you some but you will need to pay up front. Iv had 2 front lips and a pair of skirts off him and they were great. Bodyshop (knightracer) said the skirts were the best fit they had seen for copies. Nice thick fibreglass.
