Hi chaps, has anyone got a pic of their 993 with just the RS side skirts fitted i.e. without the rear wing and front splitters? I am interested because I have the offer of a set and want to know what I am dealing with aesthetically. I have done a google image search but it only throws up cars with the whole kit installed. I want to see a pic of the car with solely the side skirts fitted!
 
I'm afraid I don't have a picture, but I think the black skirt on your Aventura (dark) will look quite subtle from a palette perspective.

From a visual balance perspective, the bottom of the car may look a bit heavier.
 
Thanks. I was going to spray the sideskirts body-coloured rather than leave black. I am concerned that it may look too heavy or fussy on a regular NB C2?
 
I don't see any reason why your nb car can't take on a more aggressive look that the RS aerokit provides.

Body colour for the skirts works as does the black.

Is your car lowered? To my mind that would match the skirt better as that ride height would then provide a more cohesive visual balance.

However it's your car so do what you want!
 
Yeh, my thoughts exactly! It's getting coilevers before Dinslaken to rock the post-Brexit Euro look 8) Probably looking at a 50mm drop. :grin:

I have the aerokit front splitter and have wondered about the side skirts for a while.

Might be interested if you decide against...
 
To my personal taste, that blue one looks too low at the front. Plus, around my way the speed bumps would kill the chin. Also - imo - with that kit you need 18" wheels, like that or Turbo.

There are photos here but as the car is black, it's quite difficult to see!

Not sure about body coloured ones....
