Post by: stu 88 on 14 July 2009, 21:42

Ive got a 5 door mk3 Gti and the small cill cover trim bit is missing, Anyone know where I can get one or the part number?  Also how do they fit on? are there clips or something to hold it on?

My dealers sells them for 22+vat, I had to replace mine as it was damaged and had a rust patch on it.

How can it have a rust patch on it if its plastic?

Under that plastic there is strip metal and when mine got damaged it revealed the metal and subsequently rusted.

Plastic will only get brittle, what he means is that the plastic gets stained from the rust. so it looks as if the plastic is rusty. know what i mean? My passenger side is very slightly showing up some rust on the plastic, but its still solid. so its not an issure yet.
