Inherited my uncle's 1997 200SX UK spec car. Need some advice on parts, but currently have origin labo front overfenders +50mm and rear overfenders +55mm.

Need to decide on front/rear bumpers (fenders) and sideskirts. Intended colour is Midnight Purple I. Looking for an OEM+ look- will be going to bodyshop for paint and fitting. Had lots of thoughts/ideas but feel like I'm going round in circles a little.

Current thoughts are to go with Navan style sideskirts (SRB Power), either Vertex or OEM Kouki front fender and OEM Kouki rear fender with rear spats.

Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Have attached photos of the shell with the overfenders (has Navan style sideskirts in the side profile but not mine). Also attached a rough mockup of the aesthetic I like/am leaning towards.

Many thanks,
Adam

Hey welcome to NICO and congrats on the car.
I've always been a fan of the OEM bumpers and side skirts for fitment and aesthetics, especially if you live in an area that requires a front license plate.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder though.

Thanks that's decent insight. It's tough not knowing without seeing it on the car. Haven't managed to get to any car shows yet to see other cars sadly. UK based so front number plate is a must.
