Hi guys I've bought a pair of side skirts for my Mk3, but I am having a bit of problem though:

There were only two corner clips came along with it, which then I had to rang up Volkswagen, and it would cost like 100 bucks is what they said! anywhere esle I can have better source of that? also where the underside trim is, there are many holes which you screw the whole thing on... do I need to use any special screws or bolts or nuts etc.?

Sorry, I do not have an answer to your questions, but I'd just like to know, what sort of side skirts did you get for your Mk3, and can you please post a pic of them? Greatly appreciated.

they are usually attached via rivet.
The end cap u need. is it from the front or the rear of the skirt? I hae a couple of front ones i think. not sure about the rears tho. Ill do them a little cheaper than the dealer if theyre the right ones if u like :p

You can make the fronts fit the rears and the other way round with minimal trimming and some sealastic. Tims ones sound like the GO.

actually i tell a lie. I think the underside holes have screws in them. its the end pieces that have the rivets. And to think i was dismantling these today off a wrecked vr6 i have and i cant remember. Old age is setting in
