I actually quite like them without, even on the above. I think it's because it creates an imbalance and makes the front look deeper as a result.

Either way, the car above looks superb anyway.

looks wrong with splitter fitted, no continuity of body lines, would need mud flaps to counter IMO

Not an R but an RA. Not pretending either.

Check out Chris P's thread on Surrey, photo of it after lots of work, but minus the skirts as he was waiting on new clips.

I got slightly side-tracked, bought a v1 to strip for bits for the R, decided it was too good to scrap, bought another v1 to rebuild that.... Its now finished, and the R is under cover ready for some work. I'm only missing front brakes now, everything I've got was how it was from new. its taken a while.

Less places for the crud to gather and rust the car. That one of the reasons I de-skirted my classic!!

OP, the splitter and the spats need to go the keep it balanced imho

Not a 2 door but you get the idea




I'm also de-skirting my new Bug WRX project too
