So it appears I've been receiving a lot of offers for my US tailgate and bumpers.
As the car's 15 years old with 121k miles it's tempting to sell and start a new project.
Thoughts ?
-
have ya got any pics of it??
may help the poll...
and ive never seen the us spec bumpers... lol ;)
-
id be interested in the boot and bumpers, but i know for a fact there will be some idiot willing to pay 3 times as much for them...

don't think I have ever seen a brown dash in a mk3 before? i likes :smiley:
btw... if you are breaking it then first dibs on that centre console cupholder pls!! :wink:
-
I would keep it, something different.
If however you do break it I would list the tailgate on ed38 they go mad for them on there.
-
How much for the whole car?
-
Keep it as it is, seriously.
My Highline came with a Fischer CD holder, easily available off ebay, but I know they're quite rare so I refuse to sell mine. So many people get annoyed when I tell them it's not for sale
-
If you do decide to sell I'll have a few bits off you as I have the same interior just it's a RHD model :P
-
break it
put the bumpers and tailgate on ed38, the scene tax will earn you good money
Guy the drinks holders are avaliable online for about 10 quid plus the same delivery from the states but they are for left hand drive cars so dont fit perfect in a RHD console

is that a cd holder/cup holder combined?

No it's just the CD holder chap. Don't think they made a combined one?

Thanks for the input. I'm in SoCal and Mexico next week (cue the swine flu jokes), I may visit a JY and see if they have any VW's in there :grin:

+1 I bloody hate having to put my McDonalds coke in the door insert or the dashboard. I want something to actually HOLD it :)
-
I know where to get these..... Will find the link....
-
Spend more money and slam it!
:nerd:
-
break it :wink:
-
Nah, dont break it. At the end of the day its only a few bits that make it different to a UK spec one.
Sell it whole, or not at all. But if your not into the show scene it might be enjoyed more by someone else.
I would buy it from you, at the right price. lol.
-
its a sh!tter, bloody get it broke and coin in on it...you will do well out of it this way.. its worth sod all as a whole even more so in LHD format
-
US tailgate would sell for about £350 on Ed38.....
-
I would list the whole car on ed38, they may go mad and give you a lot if not break it.
-
sell the tailgate and bumper, and stick standard ones on, and sell the car?

possible good idea to shift the shell on, wont get much for iut but still decent idea as the bumpers and tailgate will go well, god knows why haha

US tailgates look GASH. As there is that funky trim line around it that is plastic, would need to be smoothed for me.
Wouldnt mind the running lights of the front, but they would have to be put into my bumper.

agree mike, look so terrible, i have a mate in the states, they all want the uk spec tailgate as it looks so much cleaner
they also want out textured bumpers, headlights and front fogs
the side running lamps look ok, you could easy make something similar (and better looking) for yours and wire them up to the sidelights

Thinking about it, but its a lot of ball ache, and probably one of the last mods i wil do to my car. Like audio is one of the last mods. I have a headunit i got for a fiver, and all original vw blown speakers. lol. Riding dirtyyyyyyy
