Im not too sure about the de-badging. Think I'll put the 16v's back on too.

I'll have a look at the new golfs tomorrow when I'm out and about.

so annoying having the skirts in my room and not being able to do anything with them!

well you could drill the holes to fit them so when you put them on it takes seconds.

Thats a good idea - but I think the bodyshop will fit them for me.

I got a few small screws to screw the skirts to my car with the skirts. the guy where I bought them also threw in some free sealant.

Im gonna have to remove the front mudflap to get the skirts on.

Can you still have front mud flaps with GSI skirts?

By the looks of it the tops of the skirts sit above the sills under the doors. Hope there will be enough clearance!

no you cant use front mudflaps, yes there is enough clearence on the front, mine rubs a little on the back doors but as i never open them its not too much of an issue.

Does the rubbing remove the paint Kris?

Will my car look silly having rear mud flaps and not front?

Kris: that sounds worrying if the skirts are going to pul the paint off my door - with rust setting in etc - I'll haveto point that out to the guy when It does to the plastic surgeon.

What colour are you thinking of spraying it? Will you be doing it yourself?

Mark, Thanks for the links - I do like the GSI skirts even though there not much deeper than the standard sides - but this wil be good when it comes to speed bumps. I've got 4 just getting into works car park!

Make sure you post pics of that steiny rear

Nice one Kris.

BTW For anyone really - can you get an Air Dam front bumper INTO a Corsa? I need to somehow get it home from the shop!

Mums got a Corsa C, dads got a BMW 5 series but the seats don't fold down in it!

Thats good to hear. I'll have to lose the box I guess though - or maybe see if I can cram it in somehow!
