The rear section is on the drawing board at the moment,and to be honest I don't expect everyone to like it but the thing is i do, beauty is in the eye as they say.
Being unique was what I was looking for so in that respect its job done.
Obviously if i was loaded then it would have been Irmscher all the way but I ain't loaded so you make do with what is affordable and fairly pleasing to the eye, this little project cost less than £100 so I am happy.

Made the skirts and front lip myself from scratch the skirts were easy but I had to make a jig for the front because of the amount of curve, had to heat and shape the material and when cooled down it kept the formed shape so fitted neatly to the original bumper without being under tension.

Coolio. I like the fact that you've made them yourself. I might be in the market for a rear apron. I'll bring my 19" snowflakes down to you to have a look if you want to see how they will look on yours for a measure up mate if you like.
