Skirts are not standard fit on V6 4Mo and GTI's, also the bumpers are practically the same throughout the range (exept R32), the only difference is the lower valance on the V6.
Have you got anything specific in mind?

I have Oettinger skirts and front valance

I think you must mean the optional VW bodykit that is standard fit on anniversarry models? Includes front & rear vallances and side skirts.
I am also thinking about getting hold of these items, but the price VW quoted kind of put me off!
Is there a way we can get this bodykit elsewhere?
Is the Oettinger kit the same? (looks very similar) how much did it cost?
Mk4 PD150, Jazz Blue, nice! Puts my old Mk3 Gti to shame

The Oettinger kit is a similar price to the Anni kit but IMO looks much better.

Retail prices (Awesome GTI) are:

Front Valance - ?215+VAT
Skirts - ?255+VAT
Rear Valance - ?215+VAT
Rear Spoiler - ?195+VAT

I wasnt too keen on the Oettinger rear valance or rear spoiler so went with the V6 4Mo rear valance (?35+VAT) and OEM rear spoiler with cutout (Around ?100).

yeh thats wat i was after they look really smart i'm sure they were on the 25th anniversary models, i'm after something to replace the black under the front and back bumpers and some skirts would finish it off, they finish the car off. any idea how much of a job it is changing them cos i haven't really had time to look underneath, does it clip on or is it nuts n bolts. thanx for displaying the prices as well you've been a great help. cheers mate ;)

Hi

The kit I have is Oettinger, not the kit which is fitted to the 25th Anniversary GTI's but as I said I actually prefer the Oettinger kit to the Anni Kit. The skirts on the anni look so plain to me.

This is the Anni kit:

yeh i can see what you mean the skirts on your car look a lot better,  i went on the awesomegti website and they've got some good stuff on there, yep i've decided to save my pennies and get the oettinger kit, it looks a lot classier than those bloody jap style things. thanks for your help mate.

You could also contact Trish at www.roadandsport.co.uk who will probably give a little discount on those prices as they are the sole importer for Oettinger kits I believe and they provide Awesome with their stock.
