But are they really practical for everyday driving? I’d hate to scrape them on curbs!
I’ve heard mixed reviews about the practicality of side skirts. It can be a pain if you’re in and out of tight parking spots. But the aesthetic boost is real!
hmmm, I’m pondering if the upgrade is worth it just for looks or performance too. Can I expect any change in handling? Need to weigh my options here a bit.
I think the primary benefit is looks, but some say they improve airflow. It’s probably minor, like the difference between a cake and a muffin!
I’ve been thinking about the M Performance side skirts too! It’s vital to regularly clean them to prevent dirt buildup. A gentle soap and water solution works wonders.

Absolutely! I also recommend using a microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the surface. You want those side skirts to sparkle!
Cleaning is key, but don’t forget about inspecting the skirts regularly for any cracks or chips. Those could lead to bigger issues if not addressed early!

I’ve had my skirts for a bit now, and I must say, they really do elevate the look of my car! Just keep an eye out for curbs when parking!
So true! You don’t want to be that person who scrapes their brand new side skirts. A little caution goes a long way.
To keep the skirts looking new, you can also apply a protective sealant every few months. This can help ward off any potential fading or discoloration.
Sealant sounds like a great idea! But what’s the best type to use? I’m curious if there’s a specific brand that people prefer.
I’ve used a ceramic sealant before, and it worked well. It really helps maintain the shine too!

On a lighter note, just make sure to avoid running too close to any bushes! The skirts might not enjoy that kind of ‘nature therapy’!

It’s good to have some humor! But seriously, are there common issues that people may overlook? I’d hate to invest in them only to deal with problems later.
Definitely keep an eye on the mounting points. If they become loose, you may need to reattach them before they fall off completely. A little vigilance goes a long way.
I appreciate all this advice! It’s refreshing to see such a supportive community. I’m really excited to upgrade; I just want to do it right!
