Not 100% sure on the rear.  If you have 5 doors then yeah, 3 door, not sure.

what a bargain, i got these thinking they were  just gonna be some cheap spacers with nothing like the autoleads kit that supplies the bit of loom too.
it was either the autoleads kit itself for half the price halfords sell it or was a very good copy.  the instructions were crap (photocopied from photocopies) but anyone with a brain could work it out..
