Title: Simple trim level related q
Post by: banterchicken on 21 October 2010, 17:47
I have an 85 mk2, and the trim on the sides sticks out very far. See picture below

I hate the side trim like this, I'm currently hunting for a replacement set like the big bumper models have like this...

I found these on the bay, are they the same? is the red badge a seperate item?

No. That is Non-GTi trim.

Don't buy it.

Yeah I'm not sure on how it will look either frankly I just hate the side trim, the bumpers are fine. I can always remove it :).

your car is early spec, with no holes in the doors. this means 88 and 90spec trim wont just clip on, you'll have to stick it on.  id de-trim it for smoothness
