Aero skirt request

I phoned the guy from madmotors to ask about fitting the skirts they sell and he says they rivet on. I’m not doing that. So I’ve put an ad on here asking for any cheap standard skirts and I’ve looked at a few clips about plastic welding.
I think I could do that. It has to be the same plastic, hence the need for doner skirts. I could buy them off eBay but people want £50 a side plus delivery. I don’t want to pay that for something that may well end up as landfill. I’ll wait and see what response I get from the ad.
 
Oh no, that’s bad news with the madmotor skirts. I was really hoping that may be a solution. I guess they must leave the original skirts in situ and just rivet them over the top, which wouldn’t look good.
There is a company in the USA who make FRP copies of the BMW Aero skirts and appear to have all the fitting tabs of the originals. Unfortunately they told me they don’t ship to the UK ☹️
Good luck with the search for some doner skirts. Hopefully some one on the forum may have some old ones taking up valuable space 🤞
 
That’s what I’m hoping. All the shape and profiles are there on the standard skirts. They just need tweaked. :thumbsup:

I got the same reply from that US company re the shipping. I wonder if we could line up enough people in a group buy would they find a way to ship to the UK?

Was ModeloDrive the company in the states?
 
Yep 👍, that’s the company.
From the photos on their website they look like a very good copy of the genuine aero skirts.
 
Plenty of forum members in the US. I wonder if we could appeal to their better nature?

I would be interested in a group buy for aero skirts (replicas/custom made etc.) :thumbsup:
Count me in!

The group buy is a great idea Coffee331 :thumbsup:

I am in!
 
I’d also be in for a group buy - even though I’m in Thailand - I’ll be headed to UK around July for a few weeks so it would be awesome if I could pick up a set and bring them back with me
 
So that’s 4 people, so far ( potentially depending on price). I wonder how many would we need to change the “we don’t ship internationally “ line?
 
Saw this and thought it maybe of interest..

They had one for sale last week for £25 but I missed it.
 
I emailed ModeloDrive and asked what quantity they would need in order to ship internationally...let’s see what they say :thumbsup:

£60 is expensive. You can sometimes pick a pair up for that.
