Homer Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I've been driving round with no side skirts and Vileside spats for nearly 4 years - not a good look! Finally sourced and fitted some OEM skirts and spats. I'm quite satisfied how it turned out, what do you guys think? If it wasn't for the dents in the sills I would have just removed the rear spats and had the rear panels re-sprayed.. but that would have cost a lot to get right, so took the cheaper option and went OEM skirts.

listy Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Looks much better almighty one Just need a nice front lip, or colour code the stock lip. The front just looks much higher than the rest of the car the way it is. Looks odd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross C Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Big improvement but agree with Listy on the front. I colour coded the stock lip initially whilst saving for an MVP which is now on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Fair point, I agree with you. I have a new front bumper to replace this one and some new front wings which I will pick up sometime in the next few weeks. I'll have a go at spraying the front lip before changing them over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littler Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Looking good Do agree on the front lip, until I decided to take my skirts/spats off a colour coded stock lip was a must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Is that rust on the sill? Yeah, there is a bit of surface rust, it's where it got damaged about 10 years ago. It's not got any worse in the 5 years or so I've had the car but if it ever goes for a repaint (my end goal) it'll be repaired like new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBDevelopments Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 much better i'm a big fan of the OEM-plus look. Stock body with some nice wheels. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Now the spats don't look so out of place!! Looks much better, infact a friend mentioned to me yesterday he preferred my old Supra because of the side skirts & spats etc where as this one looked plain.... I dropped him off at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abtin90 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Massive improvement. As mentioned a painted front lip or an aftermarket one will really finish it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Love it That's the look I'm going for. Already got the spats, just need to source the skirts. Toying with painting the front lip, or going for an aftermarket one - the only thing I don't want to risk, is being too low at the front, and scraping everywhere lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Cheers gents, really pleased with the results even though much more work is needed on the body. Mechanically the car is near perfect now (aside from lack of TT engine). It's come a long way from when I got it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldy Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 MVP lip would finish that off nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
