Title: Golf GTI BodyKit/Arches
Post by: peacher on 13 January 2007, 16:40
Wanting to replace some of my faded golf gti wheelarches and noticed that there are some for sale 2nd hand on ebay. Only prob is that I am not too sure if the arches are the same on pre 90spec and post 90spec cars (and also between 3 and 5 doors). Does anyone know if they are the same so I could buy pre 90spec arches to put on my 90spec?

Cheers,

Peter

The arches are different pre and post 90 as there is a little bit of side trim is attached, which is obviously either fat or thin. I think that the arches fit 3 and 5 doors, i think its just the side trim that isn't interchangeable. Don't quote me on that though! Hope thats of some help.

All the trim is the same between 3 & 5 door models, but the door/quarter rubbing strips differ obviously ;)
