IIRC they need a little trimming to suit, but they should fit, yes

straight on, only difference is the cut out for the 1/4 of the 3 door, you just see a trimmed bit when you open the rear door

dont forget the riveted on locator for the support of the skirt, they sag without em

when i fitted mine i used rivets and when fitting them i dipped the rivets in paint 1st to make sure the hole was rustproofed, worked as i removed em 2 year slater and they were still spot on
