May I ask how they are fitted? Screwed, bolted, taped, otherwise? Many thanks! Did they come pre-drilled?

The side skirts come supplied with stainless self tapping bolts. The front splitter comes with nuts/bolts. They're not pre drilled.

The side skirt is a really nice little addition.

Interested to learn how robust it will be.

Thanks. I do quite like them. Time is always a good teller.

Seriously?

. Life happens. I was turning left into a narrow street when a 4WD coming the other way decided to take up 3/4 of the road at the intersection. I had to pull over as far left as possible and the rear left rim just kissed the curb as I went around. Not big damage at all, but annoying.
I'm guessing you would have dropped a gear, hammered the accelerator and just drifted the rear out slightly to get around the the corner between the curb and the 4WD?

Wish we could all be driving Gods.
NB - your 4 Vert looks the bees with that wheel setup and lowered - great job

Gave it a coat of this stuff. It certainly leaves a nice shine to it so will probably go over it again after it cures.

Picked up a re-powder coated from ARB , which came for Lithuania and almost mint and only a couple of paint bubbles

£20 for blasting and coating wasnt worth the effort of trying to do a sub average level job in the cold with rattle cans. Also ordered a rocker cover gasket and valve motor gasket and oil filter housing gasket. Belt and braces and all that. Seem to have a strange pungent whiff in the cabin and suspect its a slight weep somewhere but not found it. Also had delivered a pair of Meyle HD drop links for the front for when the bar goes in.
Also SORN'd it , pump the tyres to 50psi ,wiped off with optimum no rinse , as too manky to take outside and wash, then chucked the cover on and off to sleep. Car sits on an optimiser with a dehumidifier anyway .
Need to get 5 ltr of Fuchs engine oil and filter yet and that's the tinkering for Christmas and New Year for next years driving.

Where did you get hold of your wing badges from?
