I had an idea... 

 

When i was last at croft and my mate was taking pics i came across this one and though that it deffinatly was missing something.. 

 

 

 

so i did some photoshopping and decided to put the black turbo spoiler back on and design some sideskirts. 

 

they do actually have a purpose and are not just for show, they stop a lot of the air coming over the car and underneath. 

 

so i bought some ali sheet and made it the right shape.. then stuck it on to see how it looked. 

 

 

 

 

all that was really wrong with it was it was a little low as i wanted the overall profile to match the splitter at the front.. so today i started making them fit nice. 

 

started with rain... lots and lots of rain. 

 

 

but soon had them all finished and installed.

Looks good, budget modding I'm all for! Is that carbon wrap over the Ali or were you just using the Ali as a template?

[chris_uk]

its just carbon wrap.. im going to try get some carbon ones made but until i had the perfect shape i help off as i didn't want to spend money on material which ends up in the bin.

How have you attached them to the car? Used the 3 side under tray bolts towards the rear but what about the front section?

[haggi961]

Looks loads better with the cf wrap. Hopefully you should see some gains with them now.

Looks ace.

But so extremely low in the middle that any speedbump should cause issues?

Now i see how.... 

 

Looks smart.

No he aint .. Lol

Can tell the sideskirts and vents work, when your doing upwards of 100mph the steering is noticably heavier.

No he aint .. Lol
