Hey guys well I thought I would start a thread about fitting s3 sportback skirts onto a tdi....
There seems to be a lot of posts but not much real info or guides....
So here's where I am so far, going on past posts I saw the parts/part numbers I needed so here's the numbers you require.....
You'll need the skirts, front caps, door trims and plastic sills.... Some. People cut corners and trim parts and try and reuse the sill scuff plates etc, I won't be doing that I do things properly... Here's the numbers....
OK so I struck lucky and picked up 2 skirts for 100 quid.... I have all the front caps and screws etc and the door blades and sills have just been ordered through tps so I haven't got a pic of them right now but here's what I have got....
OK so luckily one of my customers is a painter so he ordered the door trims for me and he will collect the front caps and skirts this week and prep and paint them for me then I shall go and pick them up and show you lot how to fit them.....
So for now that's where I am, altho here's a couple of pictures of the backs of the parts to give you a idea of what they are like behind to clip in.....
So to start you will need to remove the 2 front and rear trims as pictured below....
The front you will need to remove part of the arch liner and feel behind and squeeze the clips to remove the trim...
The rear I believe will pull off with a heat gun and trim removal tool from past posts......
Next the door Trims these are simple, the 2 torx screws on each door need to be removed as pictured below, then slide the trim to the rear of the door and should come away from the door.....
The new ones should fit the reverse to what I just said....
The next is fiddley and again I will be actually doing this when the parts arrive you'll need to use and heat gun and a plastic trim removal tool and carefully remove the sill scuff plates again as pictured below.....
OK so that's it for now when the parts are painted and here I'll put the rest up for you!
