Title: MK2 boot - black finishing tape
Post by: catch on 25 July 2007, 10:37: On the MK2 GTI there is a black finishing "tape" or possibly sprayed on surround on the boot. It goes around the window and behind the lock. Is this sprayed on or can it be bought as an adhesive stick on?
If you can buy it, does anybody know where can i get one?
thanks

Post by: Dougie_91 8v GTi on 26 July 2007, 19:00: The tape/foil was only fitted to the lighter coloured cars and not the black, dark green and dark grey I understand? (may have been other colours aswell) I have a tornado 'red' golf with a replacement bootlid without it and it does look slightly odd in my eyes, but they say it is a pain to fit as you have to clean the area thoroughly and with the adhesive, apply it at the correct temperature! Hardwork I fear, but worth it?

Post by: ...joe on 26 July 2007, 19:04: ^^ nah it came on all gti's regardless of colour. you can buy them from trimsport as well but them come in 3 sections. this is why its so hard to get reproductions of these as the cost of the material and the amount of waste is crazy (due to its shape) which means a one piece sticker costs more than people want to pay!

Post by: Organisys on 26 July 2007, 21:06: Might even be easier to find a cleanish bootlid in the same colour with an intact sticker and just swap the lid over !

Post by: dabill on 27 July 2007, 13:29: think i might invest in one some time soon, seems like my tailgate has had some wierd mid spoiler attatched at some point, and has no end of grommets in it to fill the holes!
