Title: What is this?

Open up the bonnet, on the right side (left as you look at it) there is like a little rubber/plastic square. Its right at the fron of the wing near the headlight. Whats it for?!!?

err...if it's on top of the wing then it's what the bonnet rests on  when its closed.

I call it a bonnet rest thingy. ;D

No, its not them! I'd be stupid if i didn't know what they were! Imagine where the battery is. It would be beside the battery, except its on the other side.... Its quite a big square, not like what you were thinking of.

Having a 1.3 i dont have an airbox so i dont know where abouts that would sit. Could well be though. So do you know what bit i am talking about? Is it a hole on GTIs and a cover on mine or what!!?

it's the cover 1.3's have cos the Gti's have a pipe going to the airbox there.

you won't get my air in cos there isn't much of a path for it behind the wing. just leave it there unless you have a vent cut ;D
