Post by: J12spk on April 07, 2014, 09:00:48 pm
Evening all, google search brings up quite a few threads on this but they are quite old! Can any1 help with up to date part no and prices?

3 door side skirts and fitting kit ( I know you can get the gti textured skirts and smooth ed/r32 ones and there's about £150 price difference! )

I would be looking for the textured ones then smooth myself unless anyone has any they wana sell in reflex silver or any othe colour?!  :popcornsoda:

Would VW tell you if there's a newer part when you give them the part numbers?

Maybe, I just don't have any confidence in my local VW! I phoned and asked for a price on fitting a flat bottom gti steering wheel to my tdi and they said it couldn't be done!!!!  :stupid:

Nice 1 Si. How old are these prices? Satin black, does that mean they're textured?

I've just removed a pair of standard black GTI side skirts & fixing strips up for sale.

You paid 140? But they are only 45 each from the dealers?

Are the ED30 and GTI skirts the same?  Are the part no's above the smoothed version ready to paint for an ED30?

I noticed the other day when cleaning my 3dr ED30, the skirt on the passenger side overhangs the rear arch by about 5 or 6mm, so I'm guessing a previous owner fitted a 5 door one in error?  That opens a can of worms about undeclared accident damage obviously, but I want it to be as it should be.

Is it a DIY job removing / refitting skirts as they are glued on normally?

My R32 ones overhang as well never been in an accident, just thought that's how they were.

Oh really, that's interesting.   I just thought it was odd on mine that the driver's side sill pulls tightly up to the arch, but on the passenger side there's like a 5-6mm gap between the arch and the plastic sill trim.  I don't see how that is possible unless the wrong part was used on one side, and there is mention on here that the 5 door sill trim is slightly different to the 3 door one.
