mantadoc Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 If you want to know if they fit, basically yes. Are they the same? If your sills are original, then no but near enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gteman Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 The sills are original its a 88 exclusive. Is the difference in the fit requiring tweaking to fit or is the shape different ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantadoc Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Pattern sills are in one piece with the lower part of the rear quarter so you lose the seam. Thing is, it is the back area not included in original sills that goes first. Original sills are available through the club and will fit better. However, you may end up buying pattern sills still to use just the quarter area. At least that way you can do it so to add / keep the factory seam.

Gteman Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Thanks for the advise I will be joining the club as soon as spare funds allow as I'll be needing lots and lots of panels though probably have to make most of the sections which makes it a bigger challenge than my mk2 Astra was. The seam that you mention would the exclusive body kit cover this seam ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemanta Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 the seam can be seen in the door shut area but a bit of cleaver use with a bit of filler and you could put the seam back in and the side skirt will cover the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can i find them? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
