binliner 0 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 whats underneath? how are they fixed? Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 The top parts are clipped in to the bottom section and held at each end by rivetted caps. I had to replace the top parts on mine cos they started cracking due to rust..... I think the bottom parts are bolted on to the floorpan. Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 if you take them off is it like the highline sides? Link to post Share on other sites
DundeeDub 0 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Bad Boy, have you the part code for the top clip in parts as i can only seem to find the 2 piece ones when i need the one piece one Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I havent got the part code sorry mate- i got mine from a VW breakers- I got quoted 27 quid for a pair of the top strips from Blade VW in Gloucester though. Binliner - i dont quite follow you there m8. I thought the highline came with the same side skirts as the normal VR6 and GTI. Maybe i just dont pay enough attention :-) Link to post Share on other sites
