Title: Removing Archs and trim.
Post by: Ads on 10 August 2005, 21:18

Hi guys.

I Have a silver MK2 gti and want to go for a euro look.

I currently have new CL bumpers with the chrome strip and was wondering how to remove the arches?

If i remove them will there be any holes underneath?

Thanks

I thknk there are hole as they are rivoted to the wing....might be wrong tho as i was able to pull the door trim off my old golf (had quater lights...why im not sure) with out any trouble because it was glued on....

Pre 88 golfs I think it is have the side trim glued on, after that year they clip on so if you take it off you have to cover up the holes for the clips. Think you can take the arches off with no problems tho, I believe they rivet on inside the arch, so would leave no external marks.

Just rip them off and see what happens :undecided:
