Corsa GSI side skirts

Post by WA17ER »

Hi guys,

Am I right in thinking that you can fit Corsa GSI side skirts to a corsa with standard plastic arches?

Or do the Corsa GSi's have different plastic arches? as the "L" piece goes up the back arches when there fitted.

If anyone could help me it would be awesome!

Regards.....Cal

You can either get gsi rear arches or trim yours down, down to you really and what you can get hold of

Ah cheers mate,

Do you know if GSI rear arches are still available from Vauxhalls?

If not i'll go down the trimming route.

Many thanks....Cal

You need to trim front and rears

Not sure if you c can still get them new
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Right ok,

Would it be a case of lining the side skirts up on the car, then marking the arches, then cut?

Sorry if i'm going on..... but I want to get them right first time!

I'll call Vauxhall's and see what they say also

Also like steinmetz and you don't need to cut the arch trim
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Cheers for all the replies,

Sweet so steinmetz skirts you don't have to cut the arches, what would be the best way to attach them to the car?

I know the GSI skirts are all clipped on.

Many thanks....

Just got of the phone to Vauxhall's,

GSI arches are discontinued, so are as rare as rocking horse s**t

I think they've been sold,

I might go down the steinmetz route, they look awesome on the some of the corsa's i've seen! And look pretty standard to.

Anybody got any for sale that then could post to me?

Many thanks
