I got mine from a guy on Facebook who unfortunately stopped making them and moved from midlands down south west don’t know where sorry 

have you tried internet search. ? I think there’s a US firm GRP that sells them and maybe Elise shop but not cheap ?

Thanks for the reply ,There’s a few places that do them outside the U.K. but with shipping and tax they’re pricey for what they are ,hence checking for any U.K. makers/ sellers first .

The guy I used was basically a metal fabrication specialist , so maybe you can find a similar person who can fabricate a simple light metal shape ? 
the skirts themselves just riveted to the edge of bodywork avoiding any wiring or cable runs 

I love my skirts but they do trap dirt and you must not step on them when getting in or out good luck with your search 

you’re in Rutland lovely roads I used have a small farm over Thorpe Satchville but live over other side of county now

I made some out of dibond. I don’t know if that’s what you are looking for and without digging out the invoice I can’t remember exactly how much they cost but it was definitely a fraction of what the cost to buy.

(here’s a bad pic with a silly splitter I made while I was at it)

FYI

i just purchased a BOE air intake kit for my NA Evora 

I was charged £175 for postage as this includes not only delivery but customs charge 

so in conclusion if you can get a Uk based seller you’re going save £170 odd before you even get the item you purchase, in your case the side skirts

I’ve just had a look £43.50 plus £14 shipping for 2 pieces of black dibond from “G J Plastics” (1840 x 260)

I then bought some speakers spikes the same thread as some of the bolts under the sill and put the spikes in, offered the board up where I thought it needed to be and pushed to mark the holes I needed to drill..

I actually took them off before trimming or final positioning as I didn’t think they worked with the splitter I was making but I’m sure you can have a go for £50..

(I can’t remember the thread size but the speaker spikes are like this): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-Speaker-spikes-steel-isolation-M8-thread-42mm-black-plated-/261490880632?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
