Mick Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I am at a dead loss here! My side skirts on my mk4 have rusted behind the plastic trim. Its not through to the bodywork thankfully but i'm struggling to find the trim I need. Every set I see seem to have the arches part of the trim Does anyone know where I can get the correct trim? Hoping to send her for a respray soon so starting to panic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 no mate - at least I don't think so. think its the poverty spec xr3 kit. you know what I mean though? the tin top style is like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Escort-rs-turbo-xr3i-mk3-4-side-skirts-/121136939130 but the cabby one has no arch sections. actually wondering if its as simple as cutting off the arch pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 cheers guys Yeah Ollie its sikaflex. We use it for sealing truck tyres and everything the stuff sets like plastic. U reckon just get rid of the rust and bond the trim to the body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
