depends if when the big bumper conversion was done they fitted the later arches and sills as well.

if it's the car in your sig pic that looks like the original arches so you need to just order one for the year of your car.

speak to stuart at euro car parts in leeds for a great price (see the deals and discounts section) or use someone like gpc http://www.gpcvwaudi.com/
