sideskirts on a 5-door

[dan-hipgrave]

Ok, i want some sideskirts for my 5-door, but i am not very good with all the fibreglass and filler, so i dont want to be cutting up skirts made for a 3-door..

What i need to know is that if the distance between the wheelarches on a 5-door is the same as on a 3-door, and if so, then in theory i could just buy some 3-door skirts that dont have the bit going up the arch (say the m3 style skirts) and they should just fit the same - is this correct?

Cheers,

Dan

mate your car would look really good with gsi/gte skirts sprayed the same colour as your bumpers, m3 or other would look abit out of place mate...

dan iff u measure the wheelbase of you're car i will measure the wheel base of my car which is a 3-door

[Adam]

Wheelbase 92.2inches.
Same on both 3 and 5 door i think.

ok cheers guys, i will measure it tommorrow and let you know what it comes out as..

Yeh i agree with you James, GTE/GSi skirts would suit my car the best, i was thinking if i cant get some of them to fit easily the next best thing might have to be m3 skirts

well what about making a set of finless' GTE ones?? would look the dogs bolox on your dan i wouldnt have thought that they would be the hard to make.....

wheel base is the same just look longer but the doors on the 5 door are smaller to fit into the same space

[dan-hipgrave]

ok, so in theory a set of skirts that dont have the bit going up the rear arch should bolt straight on to a 5-door nova.

I will have to have a look as to which skirts will suit my car but dont have the arch bit....any ideas people.

[Philsutton]

yeah the only difference is the rear arch, the 3 door has a bit that goes up after the door ends but on the 5 door the rear door is there

escort RS2000 ones fit :roll:

[epo]

calibra ones shudnt be far off too

[smitty5door]

i think he shouuld go with the finless nova ones as the wheel base is the same
