if its a facelift would look better with se side skirts

318ispmk had a red one with is lipis spoiler,and tech 1 skirts, but also had the black bumper inserts painted red,looked a bit cheap

look up his threads

Never been a fan of colour coded bumper inserts .

It a white facelift 2 door .

I have both tech1 and se sideskirts so pics of both if possible would be great.
It currently has a white se boot spoiler .

I reckon if i do the i.s lip spoiler black colour code the sideskirts and fit a tech 1 boot spoiler it will carry on the black and white scheme along with the bumper inserts and door rub strips.

From looking at the pic above of 318ispmk's old IS and the white SE on the ebay link. I would say that the SE skirts tie in better with an IS splitter over a set of tech 1 skirts..

Tech 1 skirts are not for a facelift, paint the lip white too

All in all. I actually prefer an IS lip with no skirts on a two door.

Front valance is white.

This is the car while it was out the garage.
There isnt an engine in it hence the 4x4 look.

Dont think the wheels are staying on it either .
Properly put the mim 1900 back on.

your gonna have to go 'IS' splitter and no kit or you'll need a brembo rear valance apron to finish the look with se skirts FTW!

yeah i think i know the one but it points up towards the rear so more pre face than facelift .

i very nearly had mine with is lip and splitter + se skirts + brembo rear valance .
I had the skirts with fixings all painted up ready for the brembo valance or similar that did come up for sale at least three times this last year just gone but decided to leave it naked and concentrate on other areas .


i see why your thinking tech 1 skirts to match that rear apron now.

Oh Mick!, I'm sure you mean a Breyton rear valance as opposed to a Brembo, not sure if brake calipers would look right hanging off the rear valance :D

Mine's got a black is lip - been thinking about se skirts, but not convinced whether they will speed up the rusting process....

Yeah I agree I put a chrome grille on and wasnt really a fan of the Red inserts. SE skirts or no skirts work better for me too. But I didnt plan to keep it so didnt mess around with it too much
