side skirt - jacking point cover

[red line fun]

passenger side one fell off yesterday, is there a cheap place to get these or as well asking my local dealer to order one up?

This is an ongoing problem for some.Seremotors can probably get u one cheaper than off your nearest main dealer.Don't forget there is a retaining strap that needs fitting in too.

Same happened to me yesterday N/S one.I phoned the main dealers cost £15 unpainted just got to price that up.

thanks guys, i've asked the bodyshop that recently repaired my car to quote me to supply and fit a replacement, i'll see what they come back with. i was driving home from stirling yesterday, doing 70-ish on motorway, heard a small noise passenger side, thought it must have been a bit of road debris or small bird hitting off car or something ... it was obviously that part falling off

Warranty Claim !!!!!!!....... I had mine replaced under warranty as bits of the car should not fall off within the first 3 years .........

will that stand with the skirts being an optional extra?

The Side Skirts were purchased as a Kit at the point of sale on my previous car FR 170 TDI, so they should come under the same exterior warranty of the car.

All you can do is complain and see what happens, I did and got a new one painted FOC

Quote for painting £15 so £30 all in buggers shouldn't fall off

I had this problem as well but solved it by drilling a small hole in the cover and the skirt and cable tying the 2 together. I just carry a multitool and spare cable ties just in case i need to take them off

When I lost one of mine a bought a full set from David @ Seremotors for just over £20. I then bought a spray can from the internet for less than £10 and job done.

It's a lot cheaper than buying one form a dealer then getting them to spray it.

Luckly I haven't lost anymore and the balance of the set is still in the garage.

Cheers

My cost close on £ 50 from the dealer but they painted the back one as well you get with the kit.

Lucky its a company smoker
