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.

It just doesnt seem right though, i was gona colour code them but its going to look odd now, ill put up some pics later.

May get my bodyshop to trim them down.

Does look slightly out more than mine. Whats the front of the skirt like at the other arch?

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.

Thats what mine were like aswell dan

i think im gona get the bodyshop to trim them down and plastic weld it back together.

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.

i had this problem when i owned my polo!

its weird
