If I can talk one of my mates into it, I can try to make copies of the side skirts of my Theis kit, dunno what the mix of the 2 would look like tho :
480 Turbo > 1989 Graphite Grey
MR2 MK1 > 1989...

Wow, that'd look interesting. Always liked the theiss sideskirts. Not the bumpers though
Too bad they are quite fragile to ship here
