Title: Side Skirts\Sill Extentions - Fair price?
Post by: OmeN on 13 November 2003, 11:58

GSF Have them at around ?27 each + the rivets needed [so i guess that might be an extra few quid ontop].

Worth getting from them?

Thing is I want to fit them today as i have some spair time, not sure if there is anyone around here breaking a golf that might have these bits spair...[farnham\guildford area]
Cheers.

There'll be a spate of 'Don't buy GSF' posts along soon, in the mean time

Rich recommended Aldershot Car Spares (haven't got araound to trying them myself yet.

There also GolfTek in Wrecelsham (sp?) in the little industrial estate by the side of the snow 4 boats shop (or whatever it's called these days), they've had my car for work and I'd give them an average. But he specialises in breaking Mk2 golfs, and has parts everywhere, certainly worth a ring.

Crap yeah I just called them up to find out what they meant.
?55 for the plastic sills
?11.50 for some retaining thingy
+ 5 of those bracket things - total ?120ish

That REALLY blows.

Try GPC in luton, they do original vw bits for less than main dealers, you could use pattern parts but they are an awful fit.

GPC are breakers or do they have new stock? Lucas in bedford has original parts at good prices.

GPC sell new vw bits at far less than main dealers, try them out for bits if you still want genuine but cant be arsed to pay main dealer prices.
