Title: bonrath top mounts
Post by: VeeDubGTI16v on 12 April 2007, 14:16

alright guys  :smiley:

trying to get some of these for the new mk2 (old one is now a nice cube shape in wokingham scrappy  :cry: ) and the stockists are next to useless in the uk that i have tried so far. can anyone recomend a good bonrath dealer? i remember seeing a bonrath stand at inters a few years ago, do you know if they visit any other shows?

cheers

Unless your 'tracking' your car, don't bother. Just go down to ECP or GSF and get some G60 versions.

i has a stupid crash on a  cold and wet corner, should know better by now  :rolleyes: it was repairable but someone hit the back of it about a year ago and had to have the rear quarter replaced and it was done a bit shoddy, and it had a front impact before i bought it, and i was getting bored of a grey car  :grin: the new one is exactly the same, 89' 16v but its red  :cool:
