mk4 sideskirts and mk 5 sideskirts!

Post by jon_poloV »

does anyone know if the standard sills on the mk4 and mk5 are the same. do the sideskirts on the mk4 fit mk5 and vice versa.

They're not identical. AFAIK the Mk5 ones are more squared off, while the Mk4 ones are more rounded.

Hope that helps.

If the part numbers are different, I'd expect they won't fit.

Better stick to stuff that fits straight on I reckon. Besides, the Mk5 looks pretty good as it is.

The cars are basically the same though, just a facelift.

The sills should be very similiar if not identical.

Is there much of a difference between the standard sideskirts, say on jon's or ben's polos, and the GTi parts, like on mine? I always thought they looked pretty similarish myself :|

gti, are much deeper, i've also seen a mk5 1.4 with deep sideskirts (they looked factory fitted) my sides are awful, the paint on the edge looks bubbled and awful thats why i want a clean smooth look, but obviously not too low
