What's the crack with all this vortex malarkey? :huh:
IMO I wouldn't notice the difference if didn't have side skirts on or not...
-
think tigerseal along the skirt aswell
-
Yeah i know they will have to be stuck on aswell i meen that one end has screw holes one end doesnt or does it not matter which way they go
-
screws go in the front arch mate. They're not Votex skirts, they're anni skirts :wink:
Votex have a upward flare bit at the back like the R32 5 door skirts. They are also deeper
The end without screw holes has a hump piece on the inside which sort of locates on the front edge of the rear arch
-
Yup. Look like 25th Anniversary.
I just found a genuine set myself, £50 posted. They need a bit of TLC, but I enjoy a challenge :grin:
Mine aint got the writing on the end, only on the inner edges? :undecided:
-
Both ends have the ridge lol see i presumed they were anni skirts and for 35 squids i wasnt complaining but then i noticed the indent bit which isnt on anni skirts and the part numbers different ??? Also didnt the votex skirts come in anni and r style judging by that votex thread its pointing them towards votex not anni ?

Is there any difference between these skirts and the factory GLI skirts?
yes...GLI and Votex are different in style...GLI has that 'step' design that runs across the entire skirt...the Votex skirts have an 'indent' design that runs almost all the way along the skirt...hope that makes sense
WTF are gli skirts lol
And
Thanks for the reply!
One more question, do these have an OEM part number? Is it 1J5 071 685K 9AX
I just want to make sure that I'm looking at the right ones! I did try the SEARCH function, but didn't find an answer.

Yeah these are missing some tabs from undernieth but thats ok im sure i can get around that ! There not even needed are they ? Not sure about the writing on yours/mine though mate i cant remember where it was on the black ones i had lol ive been looking at the pictures of them and these and they are ever so slightly different..... Mind posting a picture of yours mate mainly to see if its got this indent and the part number
-
gli are the american version of the bora etc :wink:
-
Thought from the image yours was missing the lower tabs... were they removed with a bit too much force? :undecided:
Mine deffo has that smooth ridge/indent along the top edge. It has a ridge both ends but only screw holes at the front. Can't recall what the ident is.
-
looking at them now on pc instead of the phone they look like anni skirts mine are the same with the indent across the top :smiley:
-
mine also have the indent running right across the top
-

The matey said he had a anniversary taken to him after 2 lads stole everything off of it except the tigerseal was to strong for them so the sides were left lol
Can someone post a picture of the stamp on the anni skirts and a close up of them please cause a chap on uk mkivs said there votex as the stamp has ms designs on it the votex distributor and the other type thats been referred to as votex are apparently r line skirts a similer version to the r32s
-
These are Votex skirts
(http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/images/silvermk4a.jpg)
note the flared bit up the back which make them look similar to the R32 5 door skirts and they are also deeper than the anni skirts below
