Title: I need your help chaps....
Post by: brookesb32 on March 15, 2012, 03:09:06 pm
...with the size of a side skirt box.

Chaps (and Ladies), i have found a R32 side skirt to buy - in original VW box, as i already have the driver's side, but the seller will only do collection or arranging own courier. (i am in Essex, skirt in Bradford - so courier it is)

Now they are not being particularly specific with the box dimensions. I know roughly from them (and a kind member on here) that the box is about 200cm long and approx 30cm high / 20cm wide, but for me to work out an accurate price with a courier company i need to know a little more precisely as the difference in cost is quite large depending if it is longer or wider.

Does anyone happen to have a box still lying around or know the dimensions?

I would be externally grateful   :happy2:

Why won't the guy just measure the box?  :stupid: Does he wanna lose the sale or something? very odd

think it would be best for the seller to give you actual dims as i doubt vw will have the dims of the box to hand....

Spoke with me local VW dealership who confirmed that the box wouldn't be much longer than the skirt itself so looking good :)

Chap was having to leave shortly when I rang him (and he is a VW dealer himself) and didn't have tape measure to hand. Was a bit annoying but worth it of I can get it for the price I hope

Thanks for the input chaos, appreciate it  :happy2:
