LOL.....well I was going to resort to the bodge tape....however, managed to actually source the correct parts for a very reasonable price and no trimming will be required so less chance of me making a total arse of it!

Thanks again guys for all your help.

So, if anyone is looking for the two sill foils I now have for a pre-90 Gti drop me a line!  Other than that they will be going in the parts for sale section or e-bay very shortly....

Rubjonny,

Need your help again please!  The part numbers you gave me relate to the 5dr Gti and mine is the 3dr......could you do me a huge favour and look up the part numbers for the 3dr?

Hope not being cheeky to ask....

Ever grateful,
Duncan

There isn't any other part numbers for that strip, they are the same for both 3 & 5 door :)

Right, think I may have solved the riddle with these parts.

The ones listed on ETKA dont differ between a 3 or 5 door car but clearly they need to be a different length/shape to fit the 3 door.

Therefore, it seems they come supplied to fit the 5dr but with a pattern on the rear backing that you trim to shape.....thereby allowing it to go on the 3dr.

Complicated?  You bet!

Haven't tried this yet but it's my best guess so far.....anyone with a different idea I'd be delighted to hear!

Rubjonny,

I've managed to bodge a pic of the area of the car these are for although I appreciate it's still not very clear but hope it helps.....its for the part numbers you supplied, not the ones I originally had:

They should fit here:
