    If you can match the bumpers up with something then yes.

    If not, I'll give you 20 quid and a bag of quavers for 'em

    I prefer Skirt. Gives me something to look forwards too without baring all!!

    .......Sorry, are we talking about the same thing here??

    Anyway, what ever that black thing that you've stuck on the side of your car...get it off!! You'll have clearance issues on speed bumps and unless you fit skirts to the front and rear bumpers, it will just look odd.

    i wouldnt fit them with bumper skirts front and rear. the front already has a facelift skirt on it, but as most know im very fussy about what i do to the car.

    my opinion is as Jamesy said if having skirts they need to line through with bumper skirts like that S60R otherwise they look a bit odd.
    I have to say the S60R looks very tasty

    Get them fitted, the more weight you add to your car, the further you'll be behind me on the strip. Have you considered a bonnet scoop?
