It is a Belly plate cover for the engine compartment.

This is box 1 of 27,331.  I am guessing you have gone for a "home build" option to speed up delivery of a new Mk7 Golf.  :smiley:



Edit : failing that, is it a Boot mat ?

Liking the suggestions, boxes within a box is certainly correct and what's inside is shiny...

About £420, sold my ones for £375  :smiley:

Google AHW Shop. They come from Germany but you need to request RHD lights. Didn't enquire at my VW dealer, might be a decent price from the parts dept. I bought my roof rack from these guys and saved about £100 though.

Dead easy to fit 6 bolts and your're done!

Other than the tint is there much difference.

Got rid of mine on ebay in the end, was quite a bit of interest but managed to negotiate a price offline and avoided that 10% final value fee...

Tell me about it..they really do take the p**s. I've sold a lot of camera equipment through eBay and must have paid 100s in fees..

Would quite like to do this, think it may look nice on the DPB   :smiley:

If you could just about break even on the swap then it would be well worth doing. I'm thinking they would look pretty good on pure white as well

I think anything up to £100 difference and this is worthwhile

Like the look of those cherry red lights. Do you think they stand out best on a dark or light coloured car? I suppose they are quite subtle so could suit both.

Any plans for the R headlamps  :cool:
Title: Re: What's in the box?
Post by: jivemonkey on 05 February 2014, 12:27
That's something I'd like to try, but at over €1000 for something that isn't guaranteed to work is a bit steep! Can't be too difficult..maybe quick recode for the LED indicators? Hopefully the DRL inner U is just daisy chained from the main connector.

It'd be very interesting to see if they'd work plug and play, that's for sure.
You'd lose the red stripe through the headlamps though... some would say that's an added bonus  :wink:
