Side skirt extensions and rear diffuser side pieces

[Slam Wagon]

So today i had nothing to do so i got on with a little more aero. The plan is to eventually make a rear diffuser, I've already got a rough cut piece of plastic for that but for now it was just to get the side pieces on.

got the idea from here CLICKY

Though they looked pretty smart and fairly easy to make. And for once i took pictures as i went to heres a how to....

Step one: using cardboard or paper make a template for your pieces

Step two: Once your happy with your shape trace it onto your plastic or metal and cut it out

Step 3: cover or spray your pieces if you wish to do so

Step 4: now you need to align your pieces and drill the holes for the brackets

as i said i intend on fitting a diffuser so have used an off cut of the plastic under each bracket to make sure they dont need to be altered when that is fitted.

Step five: line up and mark your pieces to be drilled, remember measure twice cut once. drill your holes and test fit them

Step six: paint your hardware, silver bolts are easy to get hold of but not always pleasing to look at

Step seven: once all your paint is dry, refit your pieces and admire your handy work
