   Doesn't look finished. At the minimum it needs side skirts.

   i agree that you need to get atleat the side skirts on.
   it looks out of place imo.
   
   it would look sweet of you could get it to have a full kit but the rear doors would cuse the problem

   Definitely needs side skirts and some smoothing but tbh I think it looks smart just a little unfinished thats all

   they dont look right unless you have paid for all the work to be done so they fit on properly.
   
   the front fits on. but the problem is at the rear with the back doors and arches.
   
   if you can find a way round it, then good luck to you.

   the rear arches will go on, all that needs doing is cutting the arch where the rear door begins and the remaining part of the rear arch moulding it round on the door, have seen it done. i have the sideskirts, but are currently in the garage getting sprayed so just waiting for them! hopefully be picking them up on saturday!

    Needs the whole kit but could be difficult with the rear doors . . .
