TCR-style side skirts for Volkswagen Golf 7 and 7.5 are the piece that connects the front with the rear and completes the set. They are an aftermarket accessory made of ABS that attaches over the original side skirt and visually lowers the profile of the car. DRX Parts is not affiliated with Volkswagen; the TCR designation is used solely to describe the style.

What makes these side skirts special

• Dual Mk7 and Mk7.5 compatibility: the same side skirts fit the Golf 7 (2012-2017) and the Golf 7.5 facelift (2017-2020), as they share the same side bodywork
• TCR style: lower and sportier side profile, matching the TCR-style rear diffuser and front lip
• High-strength ABS: withstands temperature changes, light impacts, pressure washing, and the sun without cracking or losing its shine. No fiberglass that breaks in the cold
• Gloss black finish applied at the factory with primer, a color coat, and UV-filtered varnish. They arrive ready to install
• No-drill mounting: they attach over the original skirt using clips and high-strength double-sided adhesive. No cutting or modifying the bodywork
• Complete pair (left side and right side) included
• Physical stock in Valencia: orders confirmed before 18:00 from Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day
• 3-year statutory warranty and 14 days to return them if they have not been installed

Who are they designed for?

If you have a Golf 7 or 7.5 (GTI, GTI Performance, R-Line, GTD, or standard trim) and are looking for a lower and sportier profile without irreversible modifications, these side skirts are the most direct option. They are ideal for:

• Owners of Golf 7 and 7.5 who want to visually lower the side profile while maintaining a stock look
• Fans of the TCR, Clubsport, or Black Pack style who value gloss black
• Those who already have the diffuser or the front lip installed and want to complete the kit
• Buyers looking for good value for money with a warranty and a local seller in Spain

✅ YES, they are compatible with:

• Volkswagen Golf Mk7, years 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 (pre-facelift)
• Volkswagen Golf Mk7.5 facelift, years 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020
• Version GTI, GTI Performance, and GTI Performance Pack
• Version R-Line (TSI gasoline and TDI diesel)
• Version GTD (TDI)
• Standard trims (Trendline, Comfortline, Highline, etc.)
• 3-door and 5-door bodywork

The Golf 7 and Golf 7.5 share the same side bodywork, so these side skirts fit both generations. If you have doubts about your version, write to us at info@drxparts.com with a photo of the side of your car and we will confirm it the same day.

Why ABS and not fiberglass?

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is the most widely used thermoplastic for automotive exterior trim due to its properties:

• Withstands sudden temperature changes without deforming, from winters at -20 °C to extreme summers
• Resists light impacts without cracking (unlike fiberglass, which is brittle)
• Maintains its color with prolonged exposure to UV rays
• Withstands common cleaning products without damaging the finish
• Withstands pressure washing at a normal distance

About the gloss black finish

The finish is applied using a multi-layer painting process: adhesion primer, color coat, and protective UV varnish. The side skirts arrive ready to install, you do not need to paint them, prime them, or apply additional varnish.

Installation is simple even if you have never worked on a car. You do not need a workshop or special tools, just patience and cleaning the mounting area.

Tools needed

• Microfiber cloth and isopropyl alcohol (to clean the bonding area)
• Optional: dryer or heat gun (helps activate the adhesive on cold days)
• Optional: ramp or jack stands for greater convenience

Detailed steps

1. Thoroughly clean the original side skirt with isopropyl alcohol to remove wax, grease, and dirt. A clean surface is key for the adhesive to bond
2. Dry fit the side skirt over the skirt to check the alignment with the wheel arches before removing the adhesive
3. Mark the position with painter's tape if you want an exact reference
4. Remove the protective film from the adhesive of the side skirt
5. Place the side skirt aligning it with the reference and fitting the clips into the mounting points of the skirt
6. Press firmly along the entire piece for a few seconds to activate the adhesive
7. Repeat the process on the opposite side and check that both side skirts are symmetrical
8. Do not wash the car for the first 24-48 hours to give the adhesive time to cure completely

⏱ Estimated total time: 30-45 minutes for the pair (if it is your first time it may take you a little longer to do it carefully)
