Front wheel skirts!!






I wish!

I propped the skirt from the other side against the front wheel, just to see what it would look like.

Got you droolin', huh? Well, it took me 15 minutes to finally get back to work, I just couldn't stop staring. It does look very Basjoos-esque from a distance, dangerously so. Imagine driving out with those - the accidents would be piling up all around me

Anywhooo, back to real life: I installed the rear skirts with less mods than I thought would be necessary to accommodate the wider Citroën wheels. I drilled new holes for the screws on the bottom bracket, so bottom stands about 10-15mm farther out than before (so do the wheels - looks like my next project will have to be spats):


Bending the bottom of the skirts out made a gap in the rear. Hopefully it won't hurt aero.
