Skirt Quandry?

[David P]

I hadn't planned to..... but came across a set of genuine OEM skirts and spats in almost the right colour.

 

 

 

Now i'm not so sure?

 

Ground clearance is compromised and I'm not sure it would cope with a drive across Eastern European roads.

 

I have three options.

 

1. Leave as is?

2. Colour code front lip and active spoiler?

3. Remove and go back to stock?

 

What do you think?

Yep I can see them now. Before all I could see was two blue boxes with question marks in the middle.

 

I think the stock skirts look fine and I don't think there is any need to colour code the lip. It might be worth giving it a new coat of black paint just to make it look a little fresher though.

P.S. If you do decide to get rid of the skirts let me know

Your worrying about skirts when you have mini side repeaters!! The horror!!

[David P]

I realy like them.

They are fitted upside down, and the form matches the rear vents perfectly.

 

[marcAB10]

There is no reasoning or excuse, it's just wrong imo..(and a little bit chavy)

 

[cliché]but as long as you like them then that's what counts[/cliché]

[Rich8v]

I say leave it as it is. But its your car, what do you like?

[hadyn]

Get those mini vents off and just paint the lip.

 

You're ruining a techno-classic there my man with that crap.

[David P]

They are 'in keeping' with the other bits I have ruined

Question. Are you using the side lights built into the headlamp as an indicator?

[David P]

Yes,

 

and the LED's in the Angel Eyes are utilised as side lights, with 4,300 HID's main and dip in glass headlamps and in the spots.

 

I can now see where I am going.

OEM side skirts, Change the front bumper for a Do luck and sell me your front lip:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only Joking, keep it as it is. The mini bits don't work for me but keep them if they make you happy because cars are a matter of personal taste:cool:

oem skirts, and loose the bmw side repaeaters.

[Homer]

Personally I prefer it without the OEM skirts, it looks cleaner and sleeker. Also echo the comments about the mini indicators, they really do not work.

[nevins]

bmw not mini lol, how the hell they could tarnish the name of the mini with those monstrosities I have no idea.

[Purity14]

Buy a numberplate holder and a proper numberplate.

Respray/clean/freshen the lower lip and spoiler

Get some standard repeaters.

 

Lose or keep skirts, let the poll decide.

[David P]

Thanks for the input, I have decided to go back to stock.

Homer's comment;

"I prefer it without the OEM skirts, it looks cleaner and sleeker."

are my thoughts exactly, and I need the ground clearance when I go fishing, or driving on Eastern European roads.

Keep the skirts, paint the bottom of the bumper but leave the active spoiler alone. You should end up with something like this
