Hello mate...

I've done a fair bit of research into this and i didn't like the idea of drilling holes in my car...

so i've only bought the skirts and the adapters

1k3853859b9b Skirt @ £26.20 1 needed

1k385386099b Skirt @ £26.20 1 needed

1K0853493 Adaptor @ £2.84 each 4 needed

The skirts have double sided tape along the top so it bonds to the body and there is a screw at each end.

Hope this helps.

^^^^^^^^ That's the exact method I used. Works fine, just make sure you clean the bodywork where the tape sticks really well.

Didn't like the idea of having holes in the sill when I put the car back to standard  :happy2:

Also just heat the body up with a hairdryer as this will enable to tape to stick better!!

Possibly due to the VAT increase and the fact VW are always changing prices!! discount on body parts is really poor!!! but as for fitting them, ive fitted quite a few sets to non-gti's (inc. my own!!) and used a little run of bonding just below the tape line provided, and they have been on for a year now with no problems!!!! preparation is they key, like anything!!!!

The ones you've just bought are they for a 5 door or a 3 door??
Also is that price for everything or just the side skirts??

Sooooo, the part numbers listed above (for the 5 door skirts) don't seem to work any more.

From the guy I just spoke to at VW the correct part number for one side is:

1K485386b9b9

Also, prices have gone up a fair bit...

£42.13 (side skirts - each side)
£13 - support strips EACH SIDE!!
£4.80 - adapter X4

so all in all, it's actually cheaper to go via ebay....

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLKSWAGEN-VW-GOLF-MK-5-GTI-SIDESKIRTS-GENUINE-/130746879907?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car%20Make%3AVW%7CModel%3AGolf%7CPlat_Gen%3AMK%20V%7CCars%20Type%3A3.2%20R32%204motion&hash=item1e711f0fa3&_uhb=1#ht_2193wt_1186

Just thought I'd update this as I'm about to purchase some for my MK5  :wink:
