If you wait about 3 weeks, I will have done this.
I had these on my series 1 XR8, and it looks fine - sort of squares up the sills.

It's an appealing improvement. However, you'll need longer retaing clips. These sit in your lower rubber (metal backed) strip and provides the 'top' mounting for the fairing. Bayford in Campbellfield have 'em. If your running mudflaps up front they'll need to be changed too to allow for the skirt profile. These are harder to source.
