r53 sideskirt

my stupid jack point gave way today and the car fell on the jack, ripping my sideskirt. Does anybody have one just laying around? I need it for the drivers side, but will consider buying a pair if you refuse to part. my MINI is scarred, please help

never heard of a jack puck either, sounds like maybe a disc that sets on top of the jack plate in order to provide more of a surface area? thats my edukated guess...

miniconcarne, 100 seems fair for a pair. I have one person that is offering 1 single skirt, if that doesnt work out, ill follow up with you. thanks!

No problem, it is the only name I could come up with for them. I made an insert that goes into my jack that fits inside the lift point. But a friend of mine has his car slammed and the only jack that would fit would allow for the insert. So I started making little blocks that fit in side so it makes the jack point a solid mount that is less likely to slip or crush.

Do you need the aero side skirts or the stock ones? I have a set of the stock ones if you want.
