I finally have a MCS!

Just a quick picture for now...



Has anyone else got the same issue with their JCW side skirts? Where the edges have been painted? Is their any way I can fix this? Does any one know the cheapest place for front/rear JCW bumpers? Minisport don't seem to lest them in PW.

Thanks,

More whiiiine please!

I do but that is on my new car, and its because the dealer has broken one

The skirts on Freedo's car should look like this (on my old car) with the ends in black plastic to match the wheel arch Not sure why someone had them colourcoded in that way though

Looks great, nice car!

The side skirts, as others have said have been colour coded. The previous owner probably bought them from someone who had them on a colour coded car, and thus don't look quite right.

Solution.... get the front and rear aero bumpers, and get them and your arches colour coded to match. Would look

Thanks for all the comments....

Does anyone know the cheapest place for a genuine front/rear aero kit? How much for colour coded arches?

I'll get the spec up in a mo...

Woodmans have an offer on the 1st Gen Aero Kit. You could order the lot and sell a set of skirts. You'd have no problems selling them on.

Stunning, Freedo - PW is one of my favourite colours

I think once you get the Aero skirts sorted out, it won't need much more done to it! Congrats

Looks very nice! You see a lot of the r56 in pepper white/black, but its always refreshing to see and r53 in this colour! How about some black/smoked indicator lenses on the side?
