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.

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.

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

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
