as soon as they arrived today i looked at them and i thought , they dont look genuine to me either,theres no vw stamp or part number on them at all ,

 i do like them though, but i think that the vw print wont last long, cant be too bad for a fiver though, ill have a go at screwing them in then

I used to sell them 10 years ago!...there not genuine and where he gets the £26 from is fkn crazy!!

oh and they just clamp on to the wheel arch....allthough they will be difficult to fit the gti with the plastic archs still fitted

I looked at these ages ago and then saw some genuine ones - they look nothing alike at all

there is a site on the net that sells genuine ones - they fit very easily

I bought a set from GSF.

They weren't what I was expecting.

I think one set were just black, with no logo.  And the other set (think the rear ones) had a 'Golf' logo in black.

Not the VW logo like I was expecting.  They are still in my garage from 7 months ago.....

Definately not original dude & nothing to do with a MK3 I'm afraid. They are a universal shape & you'll probably find them cropping up all over the shop with different logo's.

Original ones fit the contour of the wheel arch/bumper but are only screwed in place with black self-tappers. So you could just screw them on, but tbh I'd get your money back & get some OEM ones!
