Yeah, I recently fitted some side skirts to mine, I think they look sweet. In doing this also had to fit 10mm hub centric wheel spacers to align my rear wheels with the skirts.

I fitted Veilside - personnally my favourite. Though have to totally agree with you on the front bars - way too long for the MR2.

ok next problem, I just installed one of the side skirts, and the front of it is only 85mm from the ground, which is good because it will match the front bar, but its too low. I think the only option I have is to wind the coilovers up so that clearance is ok?? All mounted up, just need to finish mounting the front bar, but this gives you guys an idea of what the things will look like, but either gloss or matt black...

Prob wont be at the track day cause I am heading to the tuner tomorrow to chat about when he can fit me in, but looks asthough it wont be til mid Jan. The only reason i got so many good parts, is because I went to America for work and stocked up on alot of parts while I was over there. To be honest I am not on a huge income, as I am only in the Army atm, but am looking at getting into fabrication and tuning work..

Yeah things are alot cheaper in the US..
Today, thanks for the help from a few members here, got the moroso pan on and fitted up the new oil drain line and the new breather hose up to the catch can. So another step closer, still waiting for my dump pipe to be finished with the wideband hole in it, but thatl take 5 mins to fit back on.
Ran into yet another problem though, one of the rear coilovers has a little problem where I cant adjust the height using the bottom part (the bit that attaches to the hub, brake line attaches to and the endlink) as I think it may have rusted onto the thread, whats the best way to fix that?
