i've been looking for some on and off for a while and the going rate for any genuine ones seems to be 170 - 200 for a full kit depending on condition.
are these ones any good?

or these?

Is GRP plastic? is that easier to work with. i dont want shite ones and will pay for genuine ones but they're only going to be hacked up for my orion anyway so if theres no difference i cant see a point ruining a gen set.
p.s obviously i know the plastic wont be the same but i meant if anyone has fitted those or the the fiberglass ones, whats the quality like etc.
thanks. joe.

cheers for the offer i'll definatly keep it in mind. i might get a tatty gen one then and tart it up abit. its not like its a "bolt on" mod for an orion anyway theres always some cutting and shaping involved.

I fitted a S1 kit to a mk2, i dont think it really suited it to be honest!the fibre glass kits will fit well with plenty of work,heres a pic of wht it looked like:

oh cool, see now i really like that. with some phat rims to fill the arches i'd really like that. i looks like you've tried to blend the rear arch in in the second pic? i dont like that so much. i'd leave it looking "stick on"
whats the length like for the skirts mate? is there much chopping needed?
