Well, at least we now know what Strad skirts look like on std wings. They don’t fit.

Spoke to that guy before I did mine (it’s been up for sale for 9 months), that’s an Alibaba (Chinese) fibreglass kit hence why it’s a funny colour and doesn’t work. He said they tried paint matching but the fibreglass panels wouldn’t take it, either that or it’s been in a smash too.

Here’s my version.. I’ve fitted GTS side skirts since.. but don’t have pictures of that! All genuine parts. Obviously, I’m biased, but looks great in my opinion. 17B71F96-61B4-47B3-8CE2-2F7E20487A17.jpeg

That’s the GTs equivalent of my new RRS. That looks mean

I thought the tips stuck out too far, but each to their own and all that!

Cheers chaps, had the car 6 years now. Got to the point where I was thinking of selling and looking at what I paid to what I could get now, so decided sod it, she's a keeper. Thankfully, I've got the garage space.

If anyone is thinking of doing it, feel free to PM me, it's a lot easier than it looks (the reworking of exhaust pipes around the boot step). Finding well priced genuine bumpers was the hard part.

The tips are 5", as I felt the original strads look rather lost within the aggressive bumper.

I’m good with the other mods, but I might go for the 5” tips, certainly very aggressive.

Any more pics? Exhaust tips look ace.

More images of rear.

Turns out I don't take many pictures, I had the GTS side skirts fitted in November and haven't taken one image.. DOH! Currently being ceramic coated so can't pop in the garage and snap some up-to-date images.

If you can’t find one, fake one...

Complete with 4.2 engine and non-Stradale alloys!


Good to know that it has "AIR HOOK ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION" though.

Only downside (for me), is they're a nightmare to clean. I can barely get my hands in to clean them.

They do look good, I agree. You didn't fancy going for black to match the rest of the look? At least they wouldn't need the cleaning that the chrome tips do. I've been thinking about these Novitec tips for my Stradale but they're super expensive just for tips
