Styling Adding Spoiler and Side Skirts to an Active.

[OCZedd]

I want to get some side skirts and a rear roof spoiler for my 1.2 Active, nothing OTT so I am indecisive between getting the standard Sporting spoiler and skirts or the Need for Speed ones that Fiat make. I need your help.

The problem is that I not sure if the NFS kit ones look a little tacked on and I if the rear spoiler is too big for what I want, as all the images I have of it don't show it very well.

Here are some pics from what I can find on the net and various foreign forums to help you see what I mean.

-- Remember that in these pics the red one has the whole kit whereas the green is without the roof spoiler. I just want THE ROOF SPOILER and the SIDE SKIRTS. --

Some poor Photoshopping from me:

I am sure you all know what a Black Sporting looks like with the Stock side skirts and spoiler to compare with so I won't post any pics of them at the time being.

The only thing is I have poor photoshopping skills and I cant take just the spoiler and skirts from one of these pics and colour it black and put it onto a pic of my car

If anyone wants to be a lifesaver and photoshop me one on the pic below would be awesome. Thanks.

I can’t help you with the photoshoping as I haven’t got the ability.
But I do like the side skirts they look more aggressive then the standard sporting ones, but will it work without the front and rear NFS valances I don’t know.
When fitting my Linea kit I debated for a few weeks whether to put the spoiler on or not due to not wanting to make the car to bad boyish.
I think a spoiler is a must was definitely the right choice, but in your case maybe a smaller one.
If you want a pic of my Linea spoiler just ask.

Yeah I think a spoiler makes the car, your one looks good with it to be honest. From the pic of the red GP I can't quite see how large the spoiler is over the stock ones (measurement anyone?) and whether or not they are too "blocky" and make the car lose its lines a little.

I do like the look of the skirts but then again the stock ones are just as nice imo. As you say dunno how it will look without the valances but I just don't like them. I also can't tell how much lower the NFS skirts are than the sportings, I think a photoshop will help here though.

Wait so you want NFS ones but are getting stock ones then?

Yeah, do you reckon you could get me some prices for both Chris?

 

[Chris@souls]

no probs

I would go with NFS bits as they are cheaper!

Sideskirt (Pair) £183.84 Inc Vat

Tailgate Spoiler £112.10 Inc Vat

Both of these come in primer and therefore need painting to the colour of the car!

Standard bits:

Skirts £205.67 Inc
Spoiler £133.82 Inc

Again come ready for paint!

OCZ Pm me for more details

Thanks for the help so far guys, but I really need to see the car with only the Skirts and the Spoiler fitted.

So if anybody could photoshop just the Skirts and Spoiler onto my car. Or take the front and rear valances off one of the cars shown above, it would be a real help!
