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 :

Wow, that'd look interesting. Always liked the theiss sideskirts. Not the bumpers though :)

Too bad they are quite fragile to ship here :(

If you already haven't checked out the diary thread - the car has now been painted:
