Title: 5 doors side skirts on a 3 door
Post by: Winniee on 24 January 2013, 16:04

Tried searching but came back with nothing..

Been offered some 5 door side skirts, will they need much change to fit a 3 door?

These are R32 reps

The 3dr ones go up the rear 1/4 a bit the 5dr ones only get bigger after the rear door. I have seen some 5dr ones on 3dr cars and it don't look that bad.

Yup but most reps bar a few are crap even the abs plastic ones!! Nad lad had good sets! I bought a set of reps and within a year I had to replace mine with gens as they cracked at the rear edges! Genuine ftw IMO  as sometimes the saying is true buy cheap buy twice as they are some horrendous polish plastic sh!te out there
