Title: G60 arch quiery...
Post by: lints on 08 September 2004, 16:23

ive a J-reg mk2 and im unsure as to whether or not to fit G60 arches, are they a straight swop from my originals or do i need different sills, rubbing strips etc..

also.. where's the cheapest place to get my hands on a set if i do decide to go for it?

many thanks in advance  :)

they will fit with your existing sills.

GPC do a full set for 100 quid and are genuine parts.

thats brilliant thanks  :)

all i need to do is make my mind up whether to keep the originals on or change to G60's, going to have to decide soon before their colourcoded though  :)

I ordered mine yesterday, VW have to wait weeks before they are shipped over to the UK.  I already enquired about it at my local dealer, backdated part i was told. 

Anyhow, got mine from GPC and they should be here by end of week.  I'm not sure how to tell the body shop to cut away the existing metal arch as i've got 9 X 16 wheels on, need lots of clearance!
