Title: jetta flush boot panel?
Post by: stainesy on 17 September 2012, 19:59
i keep seeing jettas on the internet with the black panel that goes between the rear lights to make the back plush. they are all like a matt black panel. what is this call and where can i get one? what it a later gti part or is it after market?

like the one in this crap pic. the black flush numberplate surround between the rear lights.

Jetta number plate panel?

And should do as VW loathed to make major changes to panels in the 80's and 90's.

I can see why you'd want a rear panel plinth, but they are very common now, I love the fact that yours doesn't have one, seems very retro, and understated in a nice way...
I'm a firm believer that when VW's are concerned, less is definitely more!
As is looks  :cool: :cool:

Are they? Truth be told, I hardly ever see a Jetta, makes me feel unique :D But I can't say I had ever seen this flush boot bracket thingy, first time I read about it here. But I agree, less is definitely more. I don't even like the look much of big bumpers :D But they arn't to bad, wouldn't say no if I purchased another.

yeah i see what ou are saying and yeah ni prefer the small bumper look. the reason i wanted the rear boot tub was mainly as i wanted to match the rear to my new front end/grill. but you do have a good point.
