I need your help chaps....
« on: March 15, 2012, 03:09:06 pm »
...with the size of a side skirt box.

Chaps (and Ladies), i have found a R32 side skirt to buy - in original VW box, as i already have the driver's side, but the seller will only do collection or arranging own courier. (i am in Essex, skirt in Bradford - so courier it is)

Now they are not being particularly specific with the box dimensions. I know roughly from them (and a kind member on here) that the box is about 200cm long and approx 30cm high / 20cm wide, but for me to work out an accurate price with a courier company i need to know a little more precisely as the difference in cost is quite large depending if it is longer or wider.

Does anyone happen to have a box still lying around or know the dimensions?

I would be externally grateful   :happy2:

Spoke with me local VW dealership who confirmed that the box wouldn't be much longer than the skirt itself so looking good :)

Chap was having to leave shortly when I rang him (and he is a VW dealer himself) and didn't have tape measure to hand. Was a bit annoying but worth it of I can get it for the price I hope

Thanks for the input chaos, appreciate it  :happy2:
