Hi everybody,

I bought the type r skirts and arches, and the gp splitters, will this fit properly at my 5door?

I know there will be a gap when you open the rear doors, is that the only thing? Or are there some more modifications to do?

Thank you all

That's a nice wiki, thanks

Is there someone with the experience of doing this and can confirm it all? Do I need extra clips or other thinges? And are the exhaust triangles really necessary?

Thanks

Exhaust triangles are wider on the GP splitter so the originals won't fit. It's only a garnish so I suppose you could go without. As far as I know all the other fittings are the same.

Thanks Jonny, did you see my PM?

Just replied mate. I will be hunting down exhaust triangles for the next couple of days so will let you know!
There are a few of us in the same boat so we can all help each other with fitting.

Still a ticket for the Hull Rotterdam ferry if I need some help

Haha. With the casino, guinness, and shows I'd have no money left by the time I got to the other side.

Dont know about other models but without the triangles I melted my bumper... I would advise keeping them or get some sort of pipe extension or an exhaust tip to protrude out of the triangle.

Eek! Better get those triangles ASAP. Thanks for the heads up!

Mine will arrive next week, yeah they will fit, the only thing is that you need the skirts and arches replaced to. When I'm back from my holiday I will put them on my car and I put some photos in my mod thread
