Just brought this 197 as my daily drive and loving it, has anyone else got side skirts?

They're part of a dealer accessory pack called the aero package. There is a front lip spoiler available too.

Enjoy it. I loved mine.

Although I personally think the aero package looks worse than crap.

I agree the aero package isn't the greatest body styling ever seen but the side skirts are subtle and if I bought a car with them on I wouldn't be too bothered but I wouldn't add them myself.

They look good on some colours but not on others. I've seen them on black 197s and unless they're painted black as well they just look strange.

Yes need some clips on both sides, I noted in the original invoice it said roof spoiler which someone has removed, which I'm glad about because that's one thing I don't much like.

I recently had some fitted to our red R27, it already had the cup spoiler and front splitter so really needed skirts (IMHO) to finish off "the look".

Also gives the appearance of the car being slightly lower as well.
