Seen the skirts in the flesh. I think they look good if you want a change.

I think that if I were going for the side skirts I'd have to go for the full kit. I've seen some side skirts and some front valances that don't let the line of the car flow when fitted in isolation. It may be worthwhile getting someone to either photoshop the skirt on its own or to see if anyone has one fitted on its own, just to see how it flows on the car.

Agree with Hurdy, they are quite a chunky style side skirt, need something with them.

Somehow that looks more subtle in red  :huh:

Wonder why they didn't paint the front splitter?
