Aero side skirts?

Post by MrPT » Wed Jan 02, 2019 1:23 pm

For those of you that have them, is the shape vac-formable/baggable? I.e. could you tool it using a single piece former, or does it have any negative spaces and/or features that would need to be injection moulded?

From the outside, it looks like a shape that would be quite straightforward to take a mould from, then vac-bag in CF and bond in the fixtures.

If I recall correctly when I put mine on, they would be shape vac formable....you would then need to cut the relevant holes, but should be pretty straight forward.

awesome :thumbsup:
... & AngryZed’s going to ask around...

If he finds ‘a war stash’ of unwanted Aeros taking up valuable stockroom space, I might do a trip in the XC60 to help them out...

Newsflash - small Aero War stash found @ secret location .. apparently EUR223 (don’t know if this includes VAT or handling) each / a side brand new... looking into how many available & what discounts they could offer for a group buy, though could work out a bit expensive after I have apportioned Eurotunnel crossing & fuel & tolls.

Let’s see what they come back with...

Top work! I think people should be prepared to pay £300 a side considering they are pretty much not available...

I'm definitely in for a set if it all works out (if there is any left after those that have done the leg work to find them) :thumbsup:

Wow, that is excellent news and well done tracking them down Jembo :thumbsup:

I’m really impressed you’ve managed to track some down hopefully. I thought I’d tried every avenue....

I definitely want a set of these if you can get them. Please put me on the list :)

Please count me in as well.

I contacted kbd bodykits, and they can actually replicate the aero side skirts if I can gather enough interest (20-30 pre-purchase, similar to kickstarter).

Can’t believe how lucky I got.... got some off of here for £300 brand new primed and in the box, complete with fitting kit and seals! And the best part.... the seller and former forum member lived 6 miles down the road and was a top bloke and even delivered them to me!! (Much like the //M bonnet... bargains are there to be had you just have to wait and pounce when the opertinity arises :rofl: )
