Hi Have got a G reg Mk3 ford fiesta which I have fitted an RS front and rear bumper, the question is will the RS side skirts and wheel arch kit fit on a 5 door model? Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Depends on what RS body kit you are on about? If its the RS Turbo/Xr2i standard kit? Then it a no i`m afraid, the front arches will be ok but the rear will cover your doors.

No the 3 dr rs turbo kit will not fit the 5 door, you might get away with the side skirts as they will be the same length but will not look right without the wheels arch trims. Best bet is to look for an aftermarket manufacturer who might make a replica kit thatll fit.

actually you are all wrong!

you can make the rear arches fit by trimming a bit off the plastic so that they do not overlap the doors,basically the front arches fit and the side skirts and then if a notch is taken off the rear arches they will go on and make the car look much better, probably best to get someone who knows what they are doing as it will look rubbish if bodged. i have seen one with it done.
