Default Rear skirt- what do you think?

As much as I REALLY like the Irmscher rear skirt/ Apron.. This really caught my eye:



By the looks of it, I don't think it;d be too far out from lining up with the standard skirts on a Vec.

What do you think?

Looks ok Tom but if the other side has a big hole for the backbox then that will make it look ugly

You mean like in the pic? Space for a zorst each side, but only one backbox?

If so- My plans are to get a custom twin-exit exhaust at some stage, so that's not a problem for me.

Just wish I could have one to trial fit to see how well it lines up with the rest of the car (skirts).

With the exhaust- Yes 100%.

But not too sure about this rear valance yet. will wait for some more opinions before deciding.

I like the look of it, and think it will suit the lines of your car nicely.

Go for it dude, but it will need your twin exit for it to carry it off ok.

The full kit is £240 + shipping (Only found this kit on one website and not really looked anywhere else yet).

+shipping, having the sh*tty fiberglass fabricated to make it stronger and more durable, fitting, Painting of the entire rear bumper I'd say the total cost would be nearing towards £400.

However I'd then have the front bumper and skirts which I can sell on-



The exhaust system I've been quoted on is £550 which includes a sports car, and full stainless system from there back, including dual exit pipes (Proper ones!), with whatever tailpipes I choose.

Yes it's a lot of money, but with the engine plans I have for the car- I'm never going to make my money back on it anyway, so planning to keep her as long as I possibly can.

AND- I'm able to do it in doses. TBH I don't think the rear of the car pictured looks too bad with only 1 backbox. Obviously it'd look better with one either side, but what I mean is- I could get this rear valance, and fitted, then a few months down the line when it suits me- Have the exhaust system fitted.
