Title: Skirts Help
Post by: RunRabbit on April 07, 2009, 05:52:00 pm

Could anyone post up the ETKA diagrams for the R32/GTI Skirts

I need to find out how they attach at the bottom, I'm pretty sure they're just taped along the top with some adhesive at the large end??

Cheers

no there is a kit you need for each side. theres about four brackets on each side need fitting then they slot and screw on i think?

sorry no pics! :(

Cheers Cherry, don't suppose you have one with the "blocks" that attach them to the bottom, I'm trying to fit some.

Underneath, I'm pretty sure it's just bonded and sticky taped up the top but the bottom has blocks that go into the bodywork when you remove the grommets and are screwed in.
