GTI sideskirts too long?
GTI sideskirts too long?
just notice today that the side skirts over hang the rear arch about 6mm on the left and 4mm on the right, anyone else's skirts like this?
Re: GTI sideskirts too long?
yes they do over hang a little I think it is so any water can go in and run out freely mine are the same no worries here my friend.dan_9n3 wrote:just notice today that the side skirts over hang the rear arch about 6mm on the left and 4mm on the right, anyone else's skirts like this?

Does look slightly out more than mine. Whats the front of the skirt like at the other arch?
Re: GTI sideskirts too long?
Wow! they are a bit long! Are they the original ones or after market ones? Mine over hang a bit but no where near the amount yours are and they are tight in at the front as well. I think a bit of skillful work is required on them if colour coding especially when your car is white in colour as it will stick like a sore thumb as it is.

Re: GTI sideskirts too long?
Mine are like this too, its quite annoying. I colour coded mine a few month back i cant remember them being like this before i took them off to paint them, i was under the impression i had stretched them somehow in the paint booth when it was on bake, but it seems they were probably like this before hand.
