gti trim

[Dan_GTi8v]

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 ) But I have a 3 door  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

correct me if im wrong but aren't 3dr's different than 5 as in the doors are bigger on a 3dr

[Dan_GTi8v]

yeah your right, thats why I need rear quarters from a 3 door, I bought a 5 door kit by mistake

[F17BAD]

think he means u will need new door trims aswell as the rear 1/4

[Dan_GTi8v]

ah right 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 )

[mk1.8t]

what i meant is i think the front doors on a 5dr are smaller than on a 3dr

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.

yeah I realise this now Got rear quarters ans n/s door trim off ashbreed, just need o/s door now
