I've just bought a 1.8 T Sport ('96) and looking to clean up the outside a little. Already removed the splash guards and the rear was debadged when I bought it.

Does anybody know how the side rubbing strips are fixed onto the doors? I'm hoping its just something like 3M tape and that they aren't fixed through the bodywork.

 

should have left the splash guards on. u cant see them anyway. plus it protects ur engine when it rains or if ur on a gravel road.

 

I think there maybe some us/uk terminology mix up - I mean the mudflaps that mount behind the wheels.

 

oooo i see. that sounds like a good idea. was it easy?
o yea and for the stripping, i dont think it will leave holes but dont mark my word on that one. i would just call a body shop they might know.

 

The mudflaps just screw/clip on so just a five minute job and looks 100% better in my opinion.

 

if tou mean the one on the lower part of the door they are held on by clips attached to the door also one screw in the begining of it holdine it in to place. you need these otherwise your car will look horrable. i have mine off to replace them i will take pics to show you

 

here are the pics

Thanks for the pics. I meant the body coloured strips along the side, part way up the door, as in your final picture.
