Default Need some help (4/ 4S/ GTS Onwers)

I’ve had my 06 C4S for about two years now and I love it. The previous owner had TechArt sideskirts on the car, which although are great, just didn’t fit the car correctly (come to find out they were for a NB 997). I removed them and had GTS skirts painted. However, there seems to be something missing here. The parts people at my dealership are of no help. So was this fender liner modified or is something missing? If anyone with a 4/ 4S/ GTS can take a pic of theirs, it would be greatly appreciated! This view is from the driver’s side looking towards the front of the car (this is in front of the rear tire)

My first guess is that your oem wheel liner was cut in order to fit the Techart side skirts.. I have the GTS/GT2 side skirts on my C4S and the rear wheel liner covers everything as expected. I will take a closer look later and see if there is a part missing.

It looks like you're missing the wheel arch trim piece/mudflap

I actually ordered those from my parts department. They don’t fit with the sideskirts installed. And they verified the part was for a 4S

as I suspected. I think your oem wheel liners were cut in order to fit the Techart rocker panels.

Yes they were definitely cut. You’ll need new inner anterior liners.

Ugh. Thanks guys! All the help is very appreciated. I'll replace them and then give them to the person that buys the TechArt sideskirts. The dealership pricing for the liners is $120 each...that's crazy!

I think I paid $175 for mine, I will have to check. It was missing when I bought my car. Weird.

plug the part number into google and you'll likely find them for much cheaper. then call your dealer and see if they'll price match or get close. you'll get them quicker that way.
