Re: What do you think?

I am not keen on coding rub strips but you have done a bloody good job there. Was it difficult getting them off without damaging them?

No not shocked.

I must admit, and it's not often that I'm wrong they do look better coded but is it trying to be something it isnt?, I'm not sure yet but warming to it. Will wait till saturday, see if I'm convinced.

Thanks for complements guys!

They were easy to remove and no damage was done to either car or rubstrips. Used a screwdriver wrapped in a cloth to protect.

Chromegrey: Yes I have been thinking of Sideskirts for a while now! just been put off by quotes!! would you attempt spraying those yourself?

Re: What do you think?

Looking good mate abarth sideskirts all the way, i think there better than the standard ones to as there a bit more bulker and suit the stilo lines, slightly better! Plus there abit better fit, as most stilo ive seen with the standard skirts a pretty terrible and never seem to line up quite correctly!
