at the botom of the door are rubber gromets remove them and lok inside you should see screws in each hole..remove them all and slide the skirt i think towards the rear of the car..and off it should come..:icon_thumright:

easy..

no he actual skirts fella not the trims i have fitted the door trims

do you mean side diffusers? the grey plastic part on the bottom of the door with a triangular shape to it?
m4 screws if so.

no the actual 'SKIRTS' they look to be held in on the underside of the sill and on top too but i have no idea how they fit on my tdi wheher the sills are totally different or what!? Dont wanna start modding them to find out theres a easy way to fit them

There aren't any side skirts on the 8L S3?? There are some little corner pieces that are attached to the sills just in front of the rear arches.

there are skirts mate i have them sat in my garage, i have highlighted in this pic i borrowed (sorry) the skirts meet the rear bit you speak about and also hook onto the front wings....

I have the wings ready to be fitted i just cant see where the skirts mount on the sills !?

[hydro s3]

That would be a bit of a mission for a 11 year old thread.
