5 doors side skirts on a 3 door
« on: 24 January 2013, 16:04 »
Tried searching but came back with nothing..

Been offered some 5 door side skirts, will they need much change to fit a 3 door?

These are R32 reps

The 3dr ones go up the rear 1/4 a bit the 5dr ones only get bigger after the rear door. I have seen some 5dr ones on 3dr cars and it don't look that bad.
