recomend me some side skirts

[blackpoolbouncer]

ive got gsi type side skirts at the minute but im missing a rear quarter of one of them so im looking at getting some new skirts and i want something a bit different but all i can find are novadose ones and a couple of others which belong in the "chav" bin at halfords:roll:
soooo come on folks what have ya got for me,preferably with pics and a place to get them from,i quite like the look of escort mk5/6 rs skirts but im looking for some other options too.:thumb:
cheers everyone

[brucer]

what does the rest of the car look like?? has to fit the rest of the theme.

in my eyes, the standard gte/gsi skirts are best.:D

[staggy_gsi]

yeah man, standard is best!

[blackpoolbouncer]

the car fromt he outside is a red gsi which will have colour coded handles etc,the theme on it is red and black but i dont know how long that will last,i want the sideskirts red and im not too keen on standard skirts when there painted,as far as exterior modification its got black 16" pro race 1.2's and its sat -60mm all round(ish).
im tempted to paint the wheels white but i doubt i will do it,maybe anthracite or gunmetaly colour but thats when i refurb the wheels so doesnt really need taking into consideration due to me not having made my mind up,are there any pics knocking about of gsi's with aftermarket skirts or skirts off other cars

[brucer]

look in the features section.

[bola]

okay i know that they are novadose skirts but my car has a red & black theme with black rims, a -60mm drop and a gsi front bumper so will be quite similar to yours!

[brucer]

[just vaux trev]

love it apart from the rear needs to be lower and back bumper looks to far away from the wheel im not keen on kits but i own a similar creation there are to maney gsi reps (i have one of those too(boring))

[bola]

is very nice.is the back -60mm aswell?
Yep it is, i dont think the car sits low enough yet so when i have enough funds i may get some coilovers, any lower than 60mm though and it would be so hard to get around where i live with all the bumps!
& thanks twistys gte and just vaux trev!

Paint the skirts Anthracite and leave them on.

There simply aren't any other skirts that look good unless you get hold of some of the Sport/Sprint/irmscher things !

[ade]

If my prototype ones come out okay you can have a set of them for a small fee.

They look like monaro ones (see projects thread Ades garage). they'll be unique - just me with a set at the moment!

[Nick]

Personally, i think they'd look totally out-of-place without the bumpers/lights to match.

I remember pictures of the car in question, it's just a nice Standard GSi !

[blackpoolbouncer]

cheers for the input folks,yes nick it is just a standard "gsi" as such,due to life begining for it as a poverty spec model it hasnt got and colour coded bits like mirrors etc or door vinyl etc etc.
my only dilema if i want standard skirts is either A- try and find the missing quarter or B- buy a complete new set

[Matt]

If it's the off side rear quater your missing...

[draper]

which side you missing fella ?? i have an extra fin for the drivers side in my shed :thumb:

[Jay]

Gsi.

[Jack]

Irmscher ones would look nice, but not really suit the rounder mk2 bumpers.

M3 may look ok:

Possibly Le Kat if you wanted something more extreme. Can't find a pic of those at the mo.

[Nick]

Are you going to use those skirts Ash ?

Funnily enough, Black Wheels, Black Skirts, Black Bumpers would look prettty awesome !

[Ash]

quite possibly, I was thinking about selling them, but put them up to the car last night and thought how good they looked.

Thinking about keeping them black the blending them in to the grey with strips on vinyl *runs off to PS*

[blackpoolbouncer]

i dont think id paint my bumper black,i think id rather have everything left colour coded as it is,stops it looking as much like a pov spec one i think with the red bumpers,btw heres a couple of carp pics of my car now ive got my wheels

It has the strips to break it up a bit, it looked to much red TBH

[bola]

ash, how much do they go for?

[Ash]

saw a set on here about 2 weeks ago for ?100, which seems the going rate. Not saying what I paid.

[bola]

thats not as bad as i expected really, but considering i paid a tenner for my skirts its quite abit more lol

[draper]
