Don't worry trike , that's why we have moderators, Red one was at Stones in '06 and I have spoken to the owner, I don't know what it's status is now, I wish I could do a HPI on all known reg numbers. The rear spoiler is Rover 200 coupe I believe, there is another car with the same and I know that is a Rover one. I do know the skirts are scratch built .

Just ordered some universal sideskirts, being GRP should be easier to modify than the usual ABS ones.

You will still have to FIX them to the car rather than rely on gluing them or bonding with resin as old resin and new resin don't mix, acetone will soften old GRP matt so you need to rip down the gel coat in the contact area, soften with acetone and apply resin and pop rivet to hold before filling and smoothing. Looking forward to seeing the progress as I have always reckoned the sides on a SS were a bit weak in the design area.

Got em of e-bay £40, plenty long enough but will take a lot of re-shaping to fit the SS
