Cheers Mark & wooly.

got round to fitting the Sideskirts this morning, very easy to fit & they fit very well. I've left the skirts black & unpainted for now and i think it looks ok. I shall be fitting my colour coded handles & a painted scuttle panel soon.

cheers Ste, its lowered -30mm on an eibach set up to improve the handling and is still very comfortable. would be good if i could lower it a bit more but unfortunately that probably wont happen due to needing it to be fairly practical for work.

Yeah i've heard that they can be a bad fit. plus i've never seen a kit for a 5 door which kinda put me off the idea as i would need to get a sheet of vinyl and cut to suit the doors.

im thinking with the colour coding im currently sorting it may not suit the pillar trim idea, we shall see how it all looks over the next few weeks.

Just get a load of black viynl and apply it and cut it yourself and its job done and should be a cheap fix and removeable if you dont like it
