Description
The ZAERO Design EVO-1 Gloss Black Side Skirts are designed to give the Volkswagen Golf 8 a wider, sportier, and more aggressive appearance while maintaining a clean OEM+ look.
The EVO-1 side skirt extensions feature widened ends and a subtle center section that follows the design line of the factory side skirts. This creates a visually lower and wider appearance while adding distinctive motorsport-inspired styling to the side profile of the Golf.
Manufactured from high-quality ABS plastic, the side skirts provide a durable and lightweight exterior upgrade designed for everyday use. The gloss black finish adds a premium appearance and complements the factory bodywork.
ZAERO Design develops its components according to OEM standards and manufactures them in Germany, with a focus on precise fitment, material quality, and seamless integration with the vehicle's original styling.
The EVO-1 Side Skirts use a Plug & Play installation concept, combining the supplied 3M adhesive tape with the vehicle's original mounting points for a secure and accurate fit.
