what do you guys think?
« on: August 05, 2011, 05:29:00 pm »
just been to my vw dealer and they quoted me £250 for one gti side skirt!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-MK5-Golf-GTI-R32-Genuine-Side-Skirts-Fitting-Kit-/280719853405?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item415c35075d

what you reckon? ive had some amazing luck on ebay in the past but do you reckon these look a bit dodgy? haha

The seller seems genuine  :happy2:

Regards the price, I personally think thats not too bad but I could be wrong.

£250 for a GTI side skirt???? Are you sure you got a price for the GTI ones and not the ED30 skirts which are about that price. The GTI skirts when I purchased mine were around the £30 mark it was 2 years ago though. Ill dig out the part numbers so you can double check.

it must be a ed30/r32 one, the gti ones are cheap, around 50 per skirt. you can get them cheaper than the ebay guy from the dealers

Give VW a bell tomorrow and get a price for these part numbers :wink:

LEFT - 1K4 853 859B 9B9       
RIGHT - 1K4 853 859B 9B9

Should be around £32+vat ish each

You will also need the fitting bits screws etc but they come to no more than a tenner
