side skirts, rusted and fallen off
« on: 10 March 2015, 21:26 »
I am struggling to find side skirts for my mk3 golf gti, the plastic ones which sit under the doors. I've looked all over and the cheapest I can find them is £60 for 1 ! Surely cant cost that much ! One of mine has fallen of and the other has broken and rusted crazy behind. Does anyone know where I maybe able to get them ? Need a set of 2. I know there is already a post about this somewhere, but I cant find it and if I remember correctly it was dated ages ago, so not sure if its still helpful in 2015. If you can help would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks in advance  :grin:

I sell them at £48.50 each but it's the post that's costly (they are 2m long! they are £15 to send)

b.t.w the new one's have no metal so will last lot's longer than the previous metal strip versions

They are on ebay for £48.50 and 15 postage so could be from you in looking at. Do they still sell then at vw garages then ? As don't particularly wish to spend £120 on 2 standard side skirts. But It looks like I may have to

It's not me on ebay selling them, although there are 2 sellers including a main dealer selling them at same price (No profit in them for me to sell!)
The retail is £39.78 each (plus vat) and they are down to be discontinued according to etka, could be worth asking your dealer

b.t.w they only include 1 end cap which are about £6-7 extra (if needed)
