[pocketrocket84]

does anyone have any expert knowledge (or any knowledge at all):)about getting body colour skirts to replace the stupid black plastic? ive seen it done on a few minis and it looks sooper dooper! any thoughts? and how much is it likely to set me back?:)
good example is the silver mini in the "wheels......which ones" thread, its damn sexy i tell u!:p

Well you could get your existing skirts colour coded , or ask Norman for a quote for the aero side skirts which are colour coded.

also Menzies told me they couldn't colour code the original side skirts and you had to buy the aero ones.

can be done, just too labour intensive trying to flatten the sytface of the origonal ones, so it actualy works out cheaper to buy the aero ones;)

how long does it take to fit them? and does taking off the old skirt damage it? i mean could the old skirts be kept for future use? not that im plaaning on scratching/scraping my beautiful baby but sh*t happens:clown:

[Sweeney]

i think he was quoting on painting the current arches etc fitted

[Bignorm]

it does not take long to fit them yeah you can keep the old ones

[illegalhunter]

can we all get a group going for the skirts it would seem that if you dont have them you want them .do you owener no how many sets we would need to order to make it worth the effort?
