99hjhm Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Where can i get a set of those from then? do they fit straight onto the Lupo? are the ones pictured fitted to a Lupo?Cheers.Some times they come up on here, or on ebay, but usually sell quite quickly.Availiable to buy new from Awesome-gti... http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=3799Yes Mikes ones are fitted to his Lupo GTI, and here are mine.. I cut about 10mm of the rear edge, this saves you having to fold it up the lip to the door seal. I fitted them using soapy water, others have used a hair dryer... You need to make sure the sill is super clean, as any grit sill show under the vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 You get them from a dealer (about £22 odd for a pair) and they need minor adjustments to fit.........otherwise easyThat pic is my GTI sill with them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaileyVW Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 the golf 25th anni ones look mint id personally go for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunid-brake Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I got the Lupo Gti ones. They look mint and are very very easy to fit. No vinyl business just peel off the tape top of the foam strips and stick down to clean sill. Took 2 mins and as they are stainless steel they still look brand new. Personal preference really and also depends on the colour of your car. if its black great cus the vinyl on the anniversary will blend in but would personally look out of place on a silver gti like mine. might get pics up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
