ah right ok, yeah they are standard mk3 skirts. Basically what he means is that you require the upper clip on top sections for either side. These commonly rot away as they have a thin layer of metal inside them and usually fall to pieces once removed.
You can still buy them from the main dealer but they are approximately £25 or so each side. You'll also require the end caps as well but these are plastic so buying second shouldn't be an issue.
