black one's LOL.

i think that they are se skirts

ive upgraded the suspension, ive lowered the back 50mm, and the front 40mm. both on b8 supersprints, as you can see the front still looks really high will this lower over time as ive not used the car since lowering it.

i had a small bump around a year ago and it damaged the front valance and front pannel so i have to replace that and also some %*&! at work dropped a wheel barrow and left that nasty dent on the passenger wing, so in the summer i will be getting them sorted.
thanks for the comments :D

The side skirts are standard touring skirts, they all have them. By the way, someone has pinched your passenger seat. Lovely and shiny touring..

I don't think all tourings came with skirts. Mine didn't and I haven't seen that many with them to be honest.

Got an identical one on the production line in the workshop at the moment. It it ends up as tidy as that one I'll be happy!
Think the skirts, as standard, may have been confined to 325s, although I have at least one 320 with them.

Looks well. :notworthy:
What are you doing about the seat belt mounts - I see you've left the Recaro's on the Escort runners/legs.
Don't mean to be personal, but are you on the short side? I'm 5'10 and with my Escort Recaro's on the original runners/legs my head was wedged against the roof in my Touring. I'm hoping to get 'round it by using Sapphire Cosworth spec. Recaro's (the bases are shallower) and fabricating brackets to mount them on the E30 runners. That should hopefully allow me to use the proper e30 seat belt mounts too.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

Plausible theory. My 320i Touring has them and it was (originally) poverty spec.

the seat belt mounts : i drilled the legs on the recaro frames and fixed the seat belt mounts using 10mm nuts and bolts. ( quality job )
