For the centre caps, check out www.makingitdigital.net , which is where I purchased the adhesive emblems for my VW GLI. The service was very good, and you can specify any size, colours, or other variations that you want.

I have factory bumper covers front and rear and side skirts, and they don't look odd at all. If you measured the distance between the ground and the bottom of your front bumper, you'll see that it's about inch lower than the center part under your doors.

Skirts make the car look lower and visually match up well with the size of the front bumper. The rear bumper curves underneath the car so much that it's not noticeable and looks attractive.

Hey Randall, your car is looking great! What kind of sideskirts are those, and what springs/coils are you running right now?

The sideskirts are from www.gtmotorsport.net. Not the best fit or finish, but they're ok for fiberglass, I guess. I'll swap them for polyurethene ones one day.

My struts/springs are stock. The 18's and the side skirts do make it look lower, but I'm hoping to put some ROW 030's or some sort of coilovers on it next year.

Stock, totaly looks lowered, is lower than my car.

Think my wheels need something sorted as they are vibrating like mad when over 70, pulling to the left, might be the tracking, may open a threa on it. Spoke to porsche, but they couldnt help me at OPC so need independant.
