Well, since everyone else is sharing :P

I don't think they stand out as much on darker finishes, but instead I love the subtle changes they add to the lines of the car.

Sweet mother of Zeus that Sepang is beautiful! Even better being in God's own country. I need to see this in person sometime please! :)

Why would you take a car with such flowing curves and slap a dirty great straight edge down the side of it.

Disclaimer: I understand I may be in a minority here. :wink:
You say that but if you look at the pictures the bottom of the door curves out. The aero skirt continues this line where as the factory skirt doesn’t. You could argue it’s how the car should have left the factory in the first place.
I can ee that, especially in some of the later photos added on here.
Yes it does continue the curve of the door, but it's the fact it is underlined by the straight edge that distracts me.
Looked at from the side it looks a bit angular. However a front quarter view clearly shows how that line is picked up from the aero front bumper and all fits into place.
So not so much the 'eye of the beholder' as the 'position'' I guess.

Always happy to help if I can.

Hopefully we will meet up sometime. Thanks for the nice comments about my ‘brown’ car🤣 In the sun the colour really shines, this picture was taken in the setting sun which gives a lovely effect on the Sepang Bronze, the photography comes easy then.

So I'll start of with a photo of mine with the standard sill covers.

Then one with Aeros fitted to show how much better they look!

Excellent photo,Sepang really does pop in the sun,as you say. Seen a few of these,and Roadsters too,in the flesh,and they do look amazing.

Opinions please- the new car has front, rear and aero sills, which are growing on me (despite being a detractor before owning!)

BUT

What are we saying about the aero boot spoiler?

Too much or too cool for school?
