Default VDP / Super 8 Side Skirts Quest

I have search everywhere and cannot find these anywhere. Can anyone point in the direction of a North American seller or a universal kit I could make work. I am getting desperate and starting to look at sites to make my own. The rain gutter pics are only as an example, I would not do this to my 1999 VDP nor would I lower it

I know photobucket sucks so the pictures are broken on the link, but this thread might help, I remember that picture.

Thank you CharlzO this was the post that inspired me long ago. I looked into the Glanz kit and only available in Japan and cant be exported. Also the cost is quite extreme if you could get the kit out. Looking for an alternative, even a generic kit or a side skirt off another car that fit with modification

Cant wait King Charles. My thoughts are the same as ericjansen. I actually am missing the rubber stoppers in the jack points so it looks unsightly.

"Main reason; to cover the rather “unfinished” underbody between the wheels, where I hated to see the weld-flange and jacking points in full sight.
Further, to give a bit of individual feeling to the car, and add some “weight” below the waste-line."

So Photobucket cancelled all my pictures, bummer ...



You can try to use a proxy like Buyee.jp to buy the Glanz stuff advertised on Yahoo.jp, that's what I did for this kit.
They have however blocked quite some stuff due to sizes, weight or other problems, so I am not sure if it still will work out.

Not sure you only want side skirts, there was a guy here in Taiwan who advertised the below recently on a local Jaguar Facebook page.

Oh yes that's exactly what I would like, just side skirts. Can you please help me find the man from Taiwan, I don't use Facebook. That would be excellent!!

It is up to you, but I think this is on a LWB.
Maybe I am wrong.
