Hah what a crock of sh*te! So according to vw the us jetta is shorter than the uk version! Can't make it up..
Hope you get to the bottom of it mate and it gets sorted, I'm guessing you can't take them back off due to having drill holes in sill to secure the skirt bracket?

OK so i took the car to VW this morning and the parts guy (lets call him Mike) came out and tried to fit the skirt! Surprise surprise it still didn't fit.
He then went to the workshop to get another guy (chief mechanic) and they had a go at fitting the skirt together. After about 5-10 attempts they both decided that there was NO way the skirt was going to fit!!
I pointed out that the skirt had a slight twist to it but the N/S didn't prior to fitting, "that could be the issue"
Mike said he will order another one, which will possibly arrive sometime mid next week. 

Mike did also say that VW UK would NOT be interested if the skirt doesn't fit as I am "retro" fitting them to my car.

Result is that i have to wait till next week to see if VW can get a straight O/S skirt.

Thanks for looking in

In my quest to get 18" wheels (prefer Pescara's but will wait for the right set) I managed to win these off the bay.
7.5x18 ZCW Angel ET38 with 215/35 Cooper Zeon tyres on.



Had to drop my eldest off at her mums for half term but managed to get back just in time to fit them to the car before it got too dark.



Will get some better pictures tomorrow.

Daylight picture, the gap between the arches makes it look like it needs lowering (even more) and been out in it and the ride feels very rough on 35 profile.

Thanks Joe  :happy2: The car is sat on a B12 sportline kit and not coilovers.

I have removed the wheels and put my winters back on as there is a threat of cold and snow again.



The ZCW will be on ebay later.

Update:
Had a call from VW today, the new O/S skirt has arrived and its 7mm longer than the one they tried fitting last week. Woo Hoo
Gonna get it tomorrow and fit it at the weekend.
Wheels went too, so now i have space in my shed for the winters off and continue my search for Pescy's

Is there an explanation as to how you ended up with one that was 7mm shorter?!

All they said was that VW couldn't explain how it was so much shorter. I though it must have been during manufacturing.
You could clearly see that the one I had had a twist in it.
Mike at the dealership did offer me a discount on some more parts, so i might take advantage and get a GTi splitter.
I cant believe you have not sold your lovely Porsche wheels yet!  :surprised:

As far as I know Torque they are different, the GTi is made up of 2 pieces, the 1st is the spoiler and the 2nd piece is the lower splitter section. But the upper section i think is different on a Jetta.
I confused my VW parts guy buy asking too many questions on part numbers earlier, I am not sure if the lower splitter will fit straight on to the Jetta spoiler.
I will find out part numbers and will let you know.

Thanks Jettair, Hmm black roof (gloss or matt????)
Not enough numbers for a part according to VW

This came home today, a straight O/S skirt being guarded by an angry AT-ST till its fitted at the weekend.
