The narrower side strips are on GL's and some VR6's as standard.
You can buy the whole set from Eurocarparts like I did but thats over £100.
Then of course you have to paint them yourself to match the car!
Or if you are really lucky you may find some your body colour in a scrappy!
Oh and if you do be very careful with the clips on the back as they are a pound a pop from ECP!

Yes but you will break the clips when you remove them, cheap enough from vw however.
