gti trim
« on: 01 June 2011, 17:02 »
In my haste to get some GTi trim I for some reason thought I needed a 5 door set, so payed for some yesterday (cheers thai-wronghorse :P) But I have a 3 door  :grin: yeah I know I'm a donut! So what do I need am I right in thinking all I need is the rear quarters? I should be able to use my existing door pieces and front and rear arches are the same right?

cheers :P

ah right :P pretty sure the door trim on the CL spec is the same, at least I cant remember changing it when I took the GTi trim off before, from memory its just a long strip which is tapered at the ends to meet with the rear quarter/front arch I think (hope :P)

Gti trim is wider than Cl so will not match up also doors are longer on a 3dr.

What Wayne said, the reason i took the GTI door strips off was due to the fact they look ghey with the CL wing and rear quarter pieces beside them.
