The side skirts would be 1 and abit inches too short. Some people have had them modified. Up to you probs more hassle that it's worth.

THis is exactly what you want M-tech 1's look superb on cabrio's.

As a guide to how much they go for have a look at this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... %3AIT&rd=1
think it might be slightly better though.

As for this...
The side skirts would be 1 and abit inches too short. Some people have had them modified. Up to you probs more hassle that it's worth.
I have done it myself, to the ends of (you will have to cut a goo 3-5cm of the back as it flares out) then re build with some fiberglass (or similar) then paint. It reall is not hard at all, and well worth the bother. You then have them so they are just flat, no "flares" which go up the wheel arches if you know what i mean. IMO i think they look a lot better like this anyway.

I probably spent a couple of hours over 3-4 days doing this, then left them in the garage of the house when i moved....woooops

Go for it!

Yeah the twisties are always more fun imo. Not much skill in straight line races with people, although a full on B-road duel can be dammn dangerous 8O
