a sneak look of my new rear lower skirt (in priemer)

i'll show you better tomorrow once ive got the finished job back home, also the skirt had to be been chopped of 1.5" in height as it was to close to the ground ... it's been a lot of work for the guy doing the job but it's gonna finish of the look on the outside  he's also blending and respraying my side skirt's.

and if i keep it (it's in the for sale section) then there's (more) big plans in store for my E39

Looking Phat Think that the skirts are fine. The top edge of the skirt and the top edge of the bumper extension tie in well. Looks...together.  

Ever thought about making the rubbing strips the same colour as the body work. Reminds the eye of the cars previous proportions down the flanks, slimer than the lower edges - if you know what I mean.

Anyway Phat as f thats the main thing!

me is not a happy chappie .....it's going back in on friday ...........  paint reaction, shadow's and signs of where they joined the splitter together are showing.

they have taken full blame and have said it'll be done proper this weekend, ive also asked them to file a groove back in to the bottom of the wing's as they smoothed over the gap when they blended the side's in.

 

2nd time lucky?
