i want some side skirts on my cupra but ive got coilovers and feel that the ms design sideskirts that i want will be way to low imo i dont like the seat sport side skirts had a look around but cant see anything on offer any1 help??

 

[rashcupra]

bump

No question for me. I think the cupra kit looks much more modern and purposeful whereas the Seat Sport kit looks like max power special. Don't mean to offend anyone!!

Nuts

For what its worth, leave it well alone, after market bodykits are generally pretty cheesy, and 9 times out of 10 look tacky and reduce the value of your car, however in 1983 I owned a Scirocco with a factory fitted Kamei bodykit and at the time I thought it looked utterly stunning.

think it looks smart, thing I dislike is the foglight position on the front looks like there not in the centre vertiacally and theres a lot of space next to em thats just plain plastic, would look better with a grill but then u kinda got 2 think y didnt I just get the cupra kit, looks nice for a bit of variation from the rest though.

 

[rashcupra]

There are loads out there you just have to look hard for them. When I got the MS design ones I checked every set I could find and there is no better looking skirts out there.

Here is the MS ones on a pretty low car and they are also smoothed into the body. To me they also go under the car more than mine do...


Just from looking through my pics the abbes ones arent to bad but they have a "vent" that would need closed up at the rear of the skirt. They dont set to deep so you can keep the coilovers setting low.





Just to show you how bad SEAT sport skirts look with cupra bumpers...



Happy hunting

My Ms design skirts, along with cupra bumpers and cupra wheels bumped the value i was offered on my Ibiza for trade in by £1000,

 

[rashcupra]

ive only seen the ms design side skirts advertised for £320 is this right!!!
because looking at all skirts on the net i dont like anything else but the ms design ones! does it look good not smoothing these to the car??

I'm glad that worked out ok for you, must have been nice and subtle, but you have to admit some can look pretty shocking and put people off buying them, a lot of buyers generally preferring a standard car.

 

[rashcupra]

aftermarket bodykits does limit your sellers but the cupra kit will be an added extra and wont have the same effect on buyers!

 

[tasty_kebab]

It has to be the Cupra kit imho. I think it suits the Ibiza better than any other, including the Seat accessory bodykit.

 

[tommmineh]

Yes please

 

[rashcupra]

im loving those ms design sideskirts!! i want some!! can some1 clear this up for me do you have to smooth these sideskirts onto car to look good or do they look ok without smoothing??

 

[DIFT]

They look good without smoothing.

Ants Ibiza looked gorgeous! I was so jealous when I had my Ibiza parked up behind it when we met before going to Santa Pod.

On another note Ant, were your alloys slightly darker than standard?

 

[Ant FR]

Yep, they were anthracite,

Its parked up in Banstead high street most days now
