Thanks pete best £14 I've spent on the car. They were in abit of a state usual pink fade and lacquer peeling and bubbled up but I'm guessing it could've been worse lol.
 
Something that's bugged me since forever, had the inner ends of the side skirts sprayed once before but already they are sandblasted by the road rash, to permanently sort this I did this

Here's the issue

So I cut some templates and transferred to 2mm abs sheet and cut these out

Takes the eye of the unsightly rashing, plastic will wear bit not as visible and looks loads better, I think anyway , done this both side obviously :)

Cracking idea that!! My side skirts look very similar, the yellow is being chewed away by the roads and almost black :/ lol
