GSI Side Skirts On A Mk1

[thedjse]

As title says guys will the GSI Side Skirts fit on a mk1?

[Iain]

I believe the GTE and GSi sideskirts are the same, so you shouldn't have any problems.

Thanks buddy

[Dod]

Straight fit

The Mk1 and Mk2 Nova shells are identical, the only difference being interior trim, Wings, lights, grills bumpers and spoilers. Also the very early Mk1s had different wing mirrors and a different boot lid.

no, caust the back door will catch the rear fin. ive seen people take 2 sets of gsi skirts and make a set without the fin part and fit them on 5 doors though!

Could you fit Mk2 astra skirts? they dont have such a fin

[Dod]

Astra ones will fit with a little trimming.

TBH you're best off using the Nova one. Line it up with the door, cut where needed and stick the part cut off to the rear door. Its never going to look perfect, but at least then you have a set of skirts on your car.

Doors were different too (doorhandles slightly different iirc), and I think the front wings had no side repeaters.

[Dod]

Early ones hadnt but the later ones did. Were the Door handles different? Possible Black as opposed to Grey?

[Shaun_O'Donnell]

The early door handle mounts were at a different angle, so if fitting early door handles to a later door skin, the bottom of the handle sticks out more.

whats the difference with the mirrors?

[Dod]

Ever see Opel Manta Standard Mirrors? Thats them.
