What's the crack with all this vortex malarkey? 

IMO I wouldn't notice the difference if didn't have side skirts on or not...

[daz veedub]

think tigerseal along the skirt aswell

[AD1.8T]

Yeah i know they will have to be stuck on aswell i meen that one end has screw holes one end doesnt or does it not matter which way they go

[Wazzzer]

screws go in the front arch mate. They're not Votex skirts, they're anni skirts 

Votex have a upward flare bit at the back like the R32 5 door skirts. They are also deeper

The end without screw holes has a hump piece on the inside which sort of locates on the front edge of the rear arch

Yup.  Look like 25th Anniversary. 
I just found a genuine set myself, £50 posted.  They need a bit of TLC, but I enjoy a challenge 
Mine aint got the writing on the end, only on the inner edges?

Both ends have the ridge lol see i presumed they were anni skirts and for 35 squids i wasnt complaining but then i noticed the indent bit which isnt on anni skirts and the part numbers different Also didnt the votex skirts come in anni and r style judging by that votex thread its pointing them towards votex not anni ?

Is there any difference between these skirts and the factory GLI skirts?
yes...GLI and Votex are different in style...GLI has that 'step' design that runs across the entire skirt...the Votex skirts have an 'indent' design that runs almost all the way along the skirt...hope that makes sense


WTF are gli skirts lol

And

Thanks for the reply!
One more question, do these have an OEM part number? Is it 1J5 071 685K 9AX

I just want to make sure that I'm looking at the right ones! I did try the SEARCH function, but didn't find an answer.

Not sure about the writing on yours/mine though mate i cant remember where it was on the black ones i had lol ive been looking at the pictures of them and these and they are ever so slightly different..... Mind posting a picture of yours mate mainly to see if its got this indent and the part number
