Once she passes her MOT (please oh mighty God of rust, smite me not) next month, the coops going into a body shop for some TLC. I'm having the entire front end re-sprayed (bonnet is a mess), and the black bits front and back body coloured. I'm pondering whether or not to fit LE skirts, or get the existing skirts shot blasted and resprayed to match. Quick photoshop mockup on normal skirts (we all know what LE looks like)

Just skirts, lips are a liability!! This! First coop I've had with lips. Awful crunching and loss of paint every time I reverse off the drive. If they were fibre glass they would be a right mess. I like the look of your car with colour coded sills
Coopless!

You know where the lumps are on your drive, what about everywhere else? I have a Plus and am forever scuffing the bottom of the lips.

I've been doing this with my crono after a suspension change. It got so bad that I was bottoming out on speed bumps where I live (never happened before). It actually ruined my break in the UK, I was so looking forward to getting home and driving the car. In the end, I was put off taking it out in case I really damaged something! Disappointed wasn't the word!

My days of spots,spoilers&skirts are long gone, that's for sure, but that's of no importance. It's your car so you make the choices, it's like food. What I've found with skirted vehicles however, when it comes to jacking up the car having skirts can make the job not so straight forward shall we say.
Not impossible, but it's so easy to damage them.
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

Heres my wine red coupe with skirts etc. You will need some wood to drive on to to get a standard jack underneath or use the low race jacks which will slide straight under. I have recently removed mine as i the kit had took a battering from local speed bump and frankly annoying me all the while. So back to colour coding for me.
