Side skirts

Can anyone recommend any particular side skirts that aren't over the top expensive?

I've just received these today. I've been scouring for weeks and weeks to find a good quality aftermarket solution that looks OEM.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-3-SER...97.m4902.l9144

I'll fit them on Friday but first impressions are great, they look exactly like the OEM M Performance skirts.

Cheers - they look good. What's the fitting method - 3m tape and self-tappers?

Stock of aftermarket m performance parts are in abundance in the US compared to the UK - The link I posted was one of the first I'd found in 3 months of ownership!

Will be fitting my skirts today hopefully (after I attempt the weekly shop in the hopes there's food on the shelves today!)

Ah, she's pretty good to be fair.... A couple of times she stood and slid off the rear sill!! She soon learnt after she was told, now she carefully steps into/out of the car 👍🏼

Haha you sound like me! 3 kids (3 - 9 years old). They hardly ever get in my car but when they do I lift them in and lift them out. People must think I'm nuts when they see it. Lol

Yea I get odd looks from the parents at the school. But that's why my jams and seats are mint and theirs are caked with mud and presumably major deep scratches.
