There is a cover to join the guard to the skirt. I am reusing the same pieces from the previous set of skirts. I am waiting to make up some small carbon pieces to join them up, as the last set used blocks of MDF painted black at the top, and metal gutter mesh at the bottom.

The bits of metal I cut out were in the way of my skirt design. They weigh something, but not much. They al went in a tip run so I didn't get to weigh them. I can say the old skirts, inner guards, brackets, and metal and other junk I pulled out weighed in at 12kg(approx. 6kg per side). The new skirts weigh in at 3kg (1.4kg each) so the car is another 9kg lighter.

I was going to either cut out or swiss cheese the sill panels, but looking at the thickness of the steel it probably isn't worth it.

In that video, are you talking about the pan across the car at the start?
