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

 

10/10 for effort, have to see 'em fitted really but looking good so far!! what were you after that you couldn't get...........

 

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

 

so make your own then, fair play

 

i look forward to seein them painted and on. will u now make me a rear defuser for my classic like the newage kind of 1s lol as your getting good at the body work stuff where were u on the tunnel run ay?

 

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

 

 

Looks great Jon. Top work pal! Can't see em looking crap.

 

nice work, look forward to seeing them on the car

 

That's commitment for you

 

Nice

 

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

 

Looking good Jon as Ever When your in Manchester fly by mine. Got loads for you to do here mate

 

Early August when I pop up to Liverpool to get the kids from their Grandparents

 

been a busy boy lately eh??

 

Now that's what you call a Babysitter

 

good work jon, can you help respray my front bumper?? im taking the lip off mine and it has all the glue and sh*t at the bottom

wiley

 

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

 

look ok to me

 

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

 

nice iv got them slats but i hav the front of the skirts n the ones on the rear bumper, they really complent the car i think

 

really suits your car jon

wiley

 

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

 

It may as well be sometimes

Cheers for the comments - what to do next

 

great DIY Job

 

Some better pics in the daylight, and yes I know it needs cleaning

 

Loving the "mean" look its given it !!!!! great job

 

Looks nice mate.
Great to see something different from the norm!

 

looking good jon.....
