Finally fitted the winters today coz the weather is getting colder (esp light on too much)
With standard discs on front.

Still looking for black window surrounds (to remove the last of the chrome)

Before tyre dressing

Fitting in the arch nicely
Rear

Front

Next will be looking for Gti/ED30 front splitter and GTi skirts (in wanted section for used item to adapt to fit before buying new set)

Thanks for looking in

....Those look very nice indeed - They really suit the car and look stylish in a funky way and not as 'Winter utilitarian' as one might expect.

For some time now i have been looking at getting some OEM Gti (equivalent) side skirts for my Jetta. My preference has always been the original textured look. I have spoken to my local stealer about them but they were no help what so ever. In fact when ever i go in and question them about fitting golf stuff to my car they must think "oh no not him again!"
I had placed a wanted post to see if i can adapt an old or damaged golf 5 door version, only had 1 reply to this, thanks Tortaruga.
I have been aware of ECS tuning in USA and they sell the Jetta GLi OEM skirts but I have been put off by the price of the postage and duty, I know UK Golf skirts are £40 from the stealers but the total quoted cost of £285 is somewhat too much (out of principle)
Over the weekend i registered with VWVortex (some lovely carsover there) to see if anyone knew if 1, I could get a good deal from their stealers or 2, someone could give me the part numbers.
Someone came up with the part numbers along with a stealer that would supply them http://keffervwparts.com/index.cfm?siteid=216177

Today armed with the part numbers i spoke to my local stealer again, to my joy the parts man was actually quite helpful and said they would need to be special ordered, I handed him £84 (ahh much better than £285) to be told it may take some time but they will call me when they are in.
I will update when they arrive.

Thanks for looking in

Sadly the fittings are not there but are recommended, i will visit VW in the morning and look at the kit (probably similar to Golfs)
I will put the part numbers up once i get them all together. Watch this space stevie

Nice one man, how long did they take to arrive? By the dates on the forum 2 days  :grin:

Even GTI side skirts are not that quick  :smiley: Glad you spoke to a decennt parts man, its actually suprising when you get through to someone at the stealers that is actually there to help!
