The bit that goes down the middle of the door or do i just leave it on?

Yeah thats the bump strip, leave them on or you'll have nasty holes showing lol

Not as simple as that, you need to replace all the side trims along the doors with CL spec as the parts on the wings are part of the arch, GTI / VR6 trim is wider as well.
ah cool cheers for that you don't know the part number for the do you?
cheers matt :laugh:

I think that you'll be paying over £100 for all the side trims from VW so best bet is to get to a scrapyard mate

Make sure you get all 6 pieces if yours is a 3dr or all 8 pieces if it's a 5dr

Simply find a CL and rip them off!

Is your car 3dr or 5dr??

I saw you asking about 3dr ones.. which won't fit a 5dr.. and the 5dr ones won't fit a 3dr
