Has anyone fitted some to their cars?
Any tips on the installation side of things
Just got a set only $180.00 already painted & ready to go.
Thanks Dave :idea:

Here are a few pics of the front spoiler I just put on this afternoon.

Fitting was OK only hassle is the black rubber strip that goes between spoiler & bumper bar, takes a bit of time & effort to
keep it just in the right place. But other than that it fitted up fine & colour match is good.
Will put the rear on tomorrow & let you know how it goes. :goodjob2:
-
It looks good Dave. :goodjob2:
Are you intending to put the skirt skirts on eventually?
-
skirt skirts would be good, I agree
A short skirt, at that ;)
Great pics and good work, Aussie Dave :goodjob:
-
Look good Dave, Just have to be real careful of steep driveways and parking buffers and stuff now :confused:
-
They do look good though, don't they?
I still really love the MS kit.........(dreaming)........ :whistler:
-
Looking good! :goodjob:
-
I am looking for side skirts but need to find some that are not over the top with price. Got a quote for the genuine items the other day $950 or there abouts. Don't like the wide bulky units that seem to be on offer from some at the moment.
Will fit the rear bumper tomorrow & will post a few pics. :goodjob2: :goodjob:
-
Forgot to say the front is not much lower than the stock black plastic bit that points down on the front just behind the bumper bar.
I just have to get the wife to take it easy on the home drive way.

MS GD heaven.......

I do like the version on the black car, the rest are OK but just gone a bit too far. I would need a lot of engine & exhaust mods just to suit the the look of the kit. :Shocked:
-
Yes, the black car and the white car at the bottom are the same and they are the ones I like.
-
Lose all the stickers and I'd like them even more.... :)
-
Looks good Dave.
Would love to get a kit someday. :evil:
-
Yes, me too.
One powerball.......
-
I have these fitted also, the front one is indeed quite low, watch parking where you face the gutter, hate that grating sound...
The prices they want for side skirts is unrealistic, but it is a capitive market and they set the prices,( have tried aftermarket but with painting, postage etc the cheap price is no longer cheap) $950 was what I was quoted and he said he was doing me a favour- yeah right...
-
Price of front & rear spoiler looks nice, and they fit perfect. :goodjob2:
-
Can't get out of our driveway with the existing front, unless at an oblique angle, so no spoilers for us, ever. :neutral:
-
Yeah, as much as I'd like them, they just aren't particularly practical. The same goes for lowering the car..... :(
-
Our home driveway is a bit of a challenge just about all cars scrape if you go straight out. (Even stock standard cars)
But if we just turn going over the last drop off the gutter no problems. The front on parking is the one we will need to watch, have to make sure you stop short of the gutters ect.
Will post some photos later this morning of the back which I fitted yesterday. I think the kit was great value at only $210.00 which included the freight to my house. :happydance:
-
It was good value :goodjob2:
Watch out for those low concrete parking bay barriers, too. :fum:

Nice viewing. :goodjob2:
That tint looks dark.
-
Not that dark in real life but it is a 20% tint.

Sorry about earlier pictures getting taken off small problem when I was in Photobucket. :wacko:

Not that dark in real life but it is a 20% tint.
