Default New Sideskirts - WiP
Not quite finished yet, but I'll keep this updated as they progress.

Couldn't get the sideskirts I wanted so I mixed and matched some bits and this is what I have come up with

Started with this...





Trial fit...







Bonded and screwed in place...







Blended...







Ready for painting...





Will hopefully get them painted and fitted in the next week, weather permitting

I was after the EGR ones, but they only come as part of a kit and I had rear spats and a front splitter already. The Orciari ones came a close second but always seem to be out of stock

Bodywork is a little forte of mine, I built and sprayed my last car, including 3 different one-off bodykits

I was in Jordan for the tunnel run - working

Gave them a coat of primer today







While I was there, gave the bumper vent a spray after it was 'hit and run' in a car park

In theory, yes I could, but I'm maxxed at the moment and I'm about to start my masters back up after my spell away last year - let me get my car finished and back on the road and we can go from there.

You may be able to clean a lot of the glue off and then just get it mopped afterwards

Not perfect, but these are only on to make do until I sort a full respray so I'm happy. A couple of areas have gone through the paint when I've polished them, but hey-ho, its winter and not perfect painting weather

On the bottom 3 pics you can see the white/grey spots where I've gone through the paint polishing the lacquer - it's on a ridge so a common error, but I can live with it

I think it's spot on to say it's not your full time job Jon. Cracking work bud!
