gti sideskirts.

Post by Dee-vub »

I'v been looking at pics of the gti and the lower spec models. the gti seems to have much deeper side skirts! is this fact or is that just my eyes, cos i want to deepen my sides a wee bit but want it to look pretty much standard. is it possible to get the gti skirts or is it just a different chasses from the lower specs?

lemme know folks!

i'v posted this in the mk5 part of the forum too.

And yes you are also right, the sideskirts on the GTi form part of the car's chassis IIRC so not something that can simply be removed from a GTi and bolted on to an SE, for example. There are aftermarket options available that mirror the subtlety of the GTi's skirts though, Votex do a pair of Polo mk5 skirts which VAGparts can ship in from Germany!
