5 DOOR MK5 SIDESKIRTS?
« on: December 16, 2013, 11:46:45 pm »
Hey new here!
Does anybody have knowledge of where I can buy myself some side skirts for a 5 door mk5.

PLEASE: they need to be straight fit :indifferent:

Even if straight fit ones don't exist, please send me the link of one where most people from this forum bought/buy theres from!

Do you know how much they charge bro?

Because the other day I called them to buy some exterior door mouldings for my car and they quoted me £40 EACH. So imagine for some side skirts :laugh:

They're about £40 each. The mouldings you mentioned are expensive because they are primed for painting.

Hi mate, is that for the textured black ones or the painted ones?

I've heard you can buy both kinds from the dealers, textured being slightly cheaper?

Cheers.

Textured mate.  Mines went of to the bodyshop, they didn't even have to sand them, they applied a heavy undercoat & then final coats and they look mint.   :happy2:

Cheers for the reply dude.

I remember the days when my cousin bought his sideskirs from the dealers for £30 - £40 per side. That was back in 2010 though.

I bought a single GTI textured 5 door skirt about 4 months ago from a dealer for @ £40. Something doesn't add up. :confused:

I really do hope there's something that doesn't add up, I'm looking to buy my skirts in the new year, and I don't want to be paying over £100 for both sides.

£40/side seems more like it. :sad1:

The sideskirt itself is around £40 ish but the main dealer adds the adaptors and bolts which jacks up the price. I was quoted £161 all in by my local VW dealer!

I think it helps to quote what VW dealer you bought the sideskirts from as reference.

I seem to remember the GTI ones were 40 squids and the R32 ones were 120 squids. it turned out they were exactly the same apart from a tiny detail.  :smiley:

Mine cost around £80 all in.. I can't remember what, but there is something they supply in the kit which isn't really needed, so if you buy the separate parts it totals to less.

The R32 skirts are pre-smoothed and primed for paint I believe. :happy2:

if you buy them from vw, do you have to go and pick them up or do they post it to your house?
