cheers guys, i actually have another 10mm spliiter to go on under the skirts yet too.

just got to decide what to do with the rear bumper as it looks a little high hmmmm.

luckily they let me park with the lorries on the ferry but thru customs there is about 6 speed bumps, the skirts scraped on 4 of them :-(

If those are super vr4 skirts, you should really look at getting the super vr4 rear bumper skirt as well. It will really finish the look.

i did think that but not sure if im the biggest fan of it, im contemplating adapting something from another car to fit. and i am very aware of the colour difference but its a 4 stage pearl, and not alot could be done except paint the whole side of the car! lol


heres a few other pics iv been sent over the last 2 days from the show, im just uploading the rest of my install pics to update that thread.

and i have bought that other number plate, just waiting to get it transfered onto the car.

I'll have to take a picture of the back of my car tonight. It's got a pair of Toyota Supra rear canard things on it that the previous owner put on.. they look alright, except that he did a horrible job of putting them on.

at the minute this is my top runner, but its not a cheap part from toyota, and im struggling to find one in a scrappy, the plastic lip on the bottom of the rear bumper is £225!!! a lot of cash if i cant make it fit! lol

The supra ones I have are similar to this, but come up the sides a bit as well.

Yep! But I might nip home during lunch and take some pics. Any excuse to get away from the office!

Ok, I've attached a few pics from different angles. Now, before anyone comments on the ****tyness of the job, let me say that it was the previous owner that put them on there, and he did it in probably the most retarded way he could think of, and then didn't even finish the job.

I'm of two minds whether I tidy them up, or remove them, restore the rear end to stock, and then go with the super rear skirt.

Those are horrible Scott.

To be honest, I have to agree. I'm just loath to put the effort and money in to get them removed, the body repaired, and a new super vr4 skirt fitted at the moment.

Next time I'm in CHC I'll remove them for you, free of charge :P

Lol! The problem is, the previous owner riveted them on along the top edge and then bogged over all the edges. It's a right mess.
