Square indicator wont sit right in oval hole and vice versa. If you've got oval indicators you need the wings designed for oval indicators unless your going to change your indicators too.

yeah, no point getting square ones anyway if yours is oval because your ariel will be on the roof

My arial is on the roof. The bloke who had it b4 me had a roof 1 fitted but kept the arial still in the wing. Both my wings need replacing so was just asking bout the square hole wing so I can get rid of the hole.

You want square holes though as the ovals just don't look right on a Mk3 in my opinion.
Title: Re: Wings
Post by: r0bster on 26 February 2012, 19:58
Ye that's cool I take it the plugs on the oval and square repeaters r the same.
Title: Re: Wings
Post by: Gti_Jamo on 26 February 2012, 20:12
Possibly not....I have both sets buts one is here and other is at my dads. Mine was oval and am converting to square but not yet at the stage of fitting. Even if the are different its easy enough to cut and join wires. I'll check tomorrow and get back to you if someone else who knows hasn't been along to confirm it by then.

The square indicator wing don't always have a hole for the ariel. All vr6 had a roof mounted ariel and early vr6's had square indicators  :wink:
Title: Re: Wings
Post by: r0bster on 27 February 2012, 20:55
No mines bin moved 2 the roof and still have ariel in wing so I want 2 get wings without the hole as need 2 new wings anyway. And was just askin if all mk3 wings fit all mk3 golfs thts all then r the plugs the same on the square and oval repeators.  :smiley:
