yeah, I think they are TWR skirts or something similar, the front spoiler and rear spoiler are elford though. I suppose if someone wanted to add skirts later in the cars life, trying to find some genuine Elford side skirts would have been like looking for hens teeth

There is no drop down on the skirts by the wheels,so i don,t think this elford has TWR side skirts.

Most Dealers will offer only crap value for cars of this age.

I agree with Ian,deffo the front & rear spoilers are Elford,but those side skirts to me don\'t appear to be TWR,so who made them?

syebba

Ian had a red TWR maybe that pic here would confirm the side skirts?

its an elford front spoiler,  they look like twr sides,  twr made a complete rear bumper where the elfords just had rear spats but that car has no spats. I cant tell if its a mazda rear spoiler painted or the the elford one.   Looks nice though.  I would be interested and im only down the road,  can you email me details please  antnicuk@msn.com

Here is mine,  its a got a turbo II engine/gearbox in it.



400 BHP - 650 KG\'s = 616 BHP Per Ton of Rotary Power

That\'s the way to do it! :Thumbsup!

Quote from: A7RXY;744982Ian do you know if it is an original elford or just the kit, as I thought they all had the elford wheels on them.

It\'s a grey area regarding what is an original Elford as all cars, in effect, had a \'kit\' fitted. Some, like Johns, had it fitted to a new car, others were ex press cars that Elford bought off Mazda UK and then converted and some were done by Elford when the car was a few years old but are these any less Elford?
There is nothing in the chassis number, on the body or on the V5 to identify it as an Elford so basically, even cars fitted with the Elford turbo setup recently, like mine, are just as much Elfords as cars done years ago.
I suppose we could argue that an orginal is one converted by Elford Turbo Ltd themselves but there again, and not being big headed here, I\'ve made a better job of installing the set up into my car than they have on the cars I\'ve seen. Wiring with scotchlocks and speaker wire.... not what you\'d expect from them really even if they were more pushed for time than me.

I missed Ians call tonight so I\'ll try to speak to him tomorrow and get the full sp on this car.

Sorry, sorry I stand corrected, how could I have missed the drop down detail. I wonder who made them, they certainly do justice as does the rest of the car. I Sooooooooooo want it.
