These seem to be like marmite on here, but i've done them and i think its filled it out a bit. you'll be happy to know no screws were involved, just Tiger seal (with is amazing stuff i should add)
I painted them with 2 pack which went on great and i've bought enough to do pretty much the whole car! so i'll start with the bonnet which is the main trouble area, its obviously a different colour. and the maybe if i do the doors and wings too i'll get someone else to do the rear quarters and roof as i only have room to do panel by panel.

Nice work ! Looks like a good job.

Out of interest, why didn't you go for the 968 skirts?

I do like the '68 ones but I think these go with the box shape of the wings, the 968 Is a more rounded car. Plus these were a lot cheaper!

Each to his own but not my cup of tea. I think it dates the car, unless you fit the flared arches to match.

It does make it a bit more 80's looking but then I like that sort of thing. Guess I'm pushing it with my '91. All I need now is those massive GT rear quarters with the vents in the back.

Looks quite good in red, don't look as larger as they do in lighter colour or the other pics iv seen. Were did you get these from? As I may use these as a base 4 my coustom ones. Think I like the look off the other style a lot more. Would it be possible 2 meet up and see these in person ? May help make my mind up

I got these second hand, had a lot of cracks in them I had to re glass but I got them cheap so I can't complain. I think they're the same as the ones on ebay but I can't be sure. Yeah if you're local feel free to come round. My cars currently sorn at the moment so I cant drive it anywhere unfortunately. I'm off work all week so whenever.
