presume you mean the sill strips if they have rusted as the side mouldings are all plastic. a comman problem on all MK3 Gti's

I was under the impression that the 63mm wide GTi side mouldings had a thin metal strip in them.


I would have thought that all you want will be available at Eurocarparts or GSF. The main dealers are not much more expensive on these kind of items.

I tried gsf today and they dont sell them, but told me that they get asked for them all the time as they rust like crazy lol so I phoned up vw and they had em in stock for £25 inc per side.
