gti wheel arch and sill cover fitment help
« on: 28 August 2012, 20:13 »
ok i will be rolling the arches on my 1985 jetta this weekend to make room for the 8j et20 wheels.
just incase something goes wrong due to unseen filler in the arches or even if the poke is to much and i need gti arches i am looking into what i would need to fit arches to my jetta.
its a small bumper 5 door CL
would i need 5 door arches and sill covers or are the 3 door and the 5 door the same size?

all arches are the same - 3 or 5 door...

Just small bumper or big bumper are the main differences...

looking at the bit that sits on the sill cover i thought it had to atach to it otherwide there would be a gap?
sweet so dont need sill covers then

based in herefordshire mate, just off the m50. think they're 30 odd quid each arch from VWheritage so 45/50 for all arches and door trims? I didnt have a sill cover on my small bumper gti so think its all goood :)

Do I need the door trim? Is the gti wider than the cl? I take it they have come from a 5 foot?
