Im looking into buying some side skirts that i can only describe as having a 'twist'  in the middle of them, but do not know the name of them (i think they were on welshdudes old corsa).
If anyone has any photos of them and possible websites i could get them from will help gratefully.

lol at the car on the rollers, they strapped the rear wheels, as if the car would have enough power to launch it off the rollers 
my 106 gti was running about 150bhp and half the weight and that didnt need strapping down

Or you can get replica ones. They are a good fit but are fibreglass so not as good quality. You will also need to find a way of attaching them as they dont come with any brackets or anything. Here they are on my car
you can get them from here

Its a good job it was strapped at the back wheels else it ould have ended up in the wall

Apparently not true. Instead of ending up in the wall, all that would happen is that you would stall.

ofcourse you strap the car down! your not just gonna have it resting on the rollers and plus, those rollers are slightly different in that it only uses 1 roller instead of 2...

you only need to pull away gently in 1st/ 2nd and build the power up in 3rd slowly theres no real force to force it forwards, unless they were revving it to fuck and dropping the clutch

They are expensive but then you get what you pay for. They weigh a ton and have a steel rod running through them so they won't bend.
