From building fibre glass/ carbon bits on kit cars , just using a small cutting disc on a dremel is the way to go. Remember to wear a face mask, as the dust is very fine. Then finish with some fine sand paper .

Resurrecting this thread ...

I participated in the group buy and took delivery of the parcel back in 2017, but did not get around to actually unpacking and fitting the side skirt extensions. Swapped houses in the mean time, had two sons (hence the baby food packaging used for the test fitting in below pictures :lol: ), you know what life can be like. :thumbsup:

Only recently I unpacked the skirt extensions for some very rough test fitting. Turns out that neither of them has the edge protection I see on other pictures:

Jay (Thantu55) obviously is not around on the forum anymore, does anyone else maybe have a contact at the Greek guy that produced the skirt extensions, so I can ask him?

Alternatively, would someone be kind enough to take measurements of the edge protection? Amazon and Ebay seem to be filled with rubber strips, but would like to avoid ordering one way too big, or way too small.

Many thanks!

Funnily enough I was going to post to ask if anyone had sourced replacement trim as mine has started to peel a bit, I’m guessing the glossy trim isn’t UV protected. I’ll be able to post the dimensions on here tomorrow. I have a business card for AGT Styling that I can pm you as well.

To be honest I’ll be using a cheap alternative, I think any trim will be sacrificial as it’s in the firing line.

Great (not the trim starting to peel on yours of course), many thanks! Could I say yes to both (business cards per PM, as well as the dimensions)? Also interested to see which trim you will source.

Once again, many thanks!

I make the skirt extensions 2.5mm thick.

The trim that came attached to mine is 7mm deep and 5mm thick - both measurements when fitted to the skirt extensions.

I think Jay might have moved abroad if memory serves. I remember he posted about his MX5 that replaced the zed when he moved.
