Which Side Skirts? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Shappers · 02-11-2010, 03:35 AM

Greetings from the UK! After some opinions...

I currently have a 2008 1.4D SR, which as you may know comes with the TTE rear spoiler, Wheels and lowering springs. Since owning the car i've also added the TTE back box.

Now, TTE also do side skirts and a front lip, which looks something like this...

link to the TTE site also: http://www.tte.de/cm_yaris_XP9.htm

Now this kit looks amazing on the dark grey / silver cars, but I can't help thinking that just the side skirts would look odd, and I'd therefore need to fork out for the front lip aswell. So firstly, I guess I want opinions on how you think those two would look on a Chilli Red yaris.

Secondly, on the 1.8 Yaris (or the RS as it's known elsewhere) they came with chunkier skirts, as per this picture below:

and I can't help thinking that these skirts would look fine without the need for the front lip aswell... I'm also assuming these would fit no problem onto non 1.8 models.

Any opinions welcome :)

^ +1!

I'm not a fan of the TTE skirts and front lip. Love the spoiler, though! :D

Can you post a picture of your car? I'm curious how much TTE springs lower the diesel :)

Heres a shot of how the car currently looks:

I think the drop is 30mm over standard. Its also got the TTE wheels as you can see.

I'm really torn, sometimes i think the TTE full kit looks really nice... but others I prefer the RS / Tsport skirts!! Have asked me local dealer to come back with prices for both, so wait and see I guess.

Am also ordering a tuning kit for it soon, which should see the power upped from 88bhp standard to ~110-120bhp, plus LOADS of torque! Looking forward to that!

go for the RS skirts....the canadian RS had JUST those skirts in 06 and 07 and i think they looked the cleanest of any RS

thanks for that picture - I really do like those RS skirts.

Am awaiting confirmation from my dealer into cost, can't find a seller online anywhere!
