That's pretty cool, I like how it brings the skirt to a similar thickness as the rear lip, looks well proportioned

Hummmm not sure on the fins, they look like you have stuck them there and an 5 series is missing its aerial down your road. Have your arches been resprayed?

i was thinking exactly that!

massive respect for the red bb4 crew and all that but i dont really think it flows very well

i was also wondering what the deal with your arch was! lol looks like its slightly deformed at the bottom

I'm assuming you got the idea from that white lude BB1Boy posted up a few days ago? I think that worked better because they were at a slight angle, not just pointing down. Also I think they had a bit of girth to them

Try them at a bit more of an angle and give us a wider pan shot of the whole car froma few angles

yes i got the idea from that white lude - i thought it looked good - but replicating that is going to take a few goes to get it right...
yup theyre just stuck on - took all of 5 seconds to fit them

they would need blended in of course
if you look at them closely they say Type R on them

i will try a few different angles and take some photos
im just looking for an easy and cheap way to alter the look of the stock side skirts - the fins i got were the cheapest i could find at £4 ea - there are better quality ones out there

I just noticed as well that that white lude's ones start well within the length of the door, so are probably about 4 or 5 times the length of your fins

...

It also actually looks quite boxey at the back but then tapers up, almost like the rear end of a Mugen or Value Sports Type 2 side but with an OEM front. In fact...

I'm not saying yours look bad by the way

I definitey think with a bit of finishing that that could look great! Definitely ties in better with the rear WW lip

Guys, after some research I discovered that the skirts on that white Lude are off a 94 USDM Accord!! Its a really popular mod in America.. people put the entire lip kit off an Accord on to their Ludes

Here's another one:

Ive got the rear lip off the accord to put onto my lude, just waiting for a new exhaust first so that I can mod the lip for that exhaust and not the current one lol I do think they look sexy though! cant wait to try it out.
