Title: ...then I went round the rear and pulled it off.
Post by: Phil303 on 31 July 2005, 19:21

I'm respraying my Cabrio at the moment and I want to take the black number plate surround off so I can do the bootlid properly. Only trouble is that the trim fixings that hold this piece on are not reusable as far as I can see. Once they're out, they can't be used again.

Before I remove this bit I need to know if you can still get these trim fixings? They look like large flat headed black screwheads that push into the bootlid.

Thanks,

Phil

I think I know which ones you mean but I'd say it's a quick call to the stealers parts dept to see if you can still get them.  :undecided:

I ripped mine off a few months ago, gives it a cleaner look I reckon. Tried to get it off without damaging it, but ended up breaking it  :laugh:

Loads better without it mate, you'll find nice fresh paint underneath  :wink:

Personally I'm going to put it back on but thanks for the heads up Gibby; VW do still stock these clips.

It's about the only Mk1 Cabrio thing they do though...
