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
