cool, although he did mention thereafter that it was due to his stretched fenders.....

You may need to ever so slightly trim, both my sides and rear are original and i had to trim both for a snug fit.

The 36 side uses different fitting gear to the updated sides. being genuine fitment parts its really expensive too and possibly not all needed if you can find other similar parts. I also got the stick on vinyl trim that covers the screws under the doors,its not really needed so I left it off. You will want to get the shorter lower door seals as your updated ones wil be too long and hit the skirts when you clsoe the door.
If i recall my sides cost me ~1400nzd,and the the complete fitting parts were like 800nzd lol. gone are the days of those funds.

Win! and the under door seal's too?

If anything trimming should be minimal - a few mills here and there around shapes like the top side rear area of the rear sill ,But because the skirts are not new they should fit without trimming, but I would test fit before painting.

didnt get the under door seals....didnt think they were needed actually...but im sure they are still available.
thanks for the heads up. the cars in for some neatening up of the engine bay so i decided to sort out the interior and exterior all at once, but will make sure i do that test fit first
