Plastic door skirts

After my recent problem with a motorcycle taking out the side of my pride and joy! Does anyone know if you can remove and fit new plastic skirts at the bottom of the doors fairly easily?

Re: Central locking on the blink

Central locking still broken.

I'm at the end of my tether with my central locking. I have replaced the following:

Keyfob battery
Door sensor
CCU
New key fob
Checked wiring

Does anyone know the correct pairing procedure for a 2005 b5.5?

Any other suggestions welcome!

Cheers

Cheers guys, it's a tough one. But I think for piece of mind it'll be the clutch first.

Re: Clutch slipping ??

Just travelled 5 hours north in my b5.5. And despite only covering 100.000 miles in its life so far the clutch is definitely slipping. Thankfully only when warmed up and when accelerating in top gear at about 2000rpm. So chaps , what's the best price out there. So far I've been told £795. Full kit ...
