My new Golf needs some new bits...

[D-Line]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum, and was hoping to get some advice...

I bought a new MK3 GTI today, which I love. There are however a couple of things I need to do to get it up to par.


It needs a new side panel / strip, and a plastic square that should sit between the front wheel and the end of the plastic strip under the doors. Can anyone recommend a good place to get these bits? I live in London.


The rear wiper has been removed / broken off. Is this a hard thing to fix?


The handbrake light stays on sometimes, when the handbrake is fully off. Is this a common fault?



Any help on these issues would be really appreciated.

Cheers

Ive got a rear wiper set up you can buy if you like. I removed mine.

Think i have that plastic trim too 

As for the handbrake, its most likely the switch which can be found under the rear ash tray. Theres a how too on here somewhere.

That's kind of you to offer, but I actually have a rear set from my old K reg Golf Driver, which I was hoping to use. Do you know if they are compatable?

Yep.

Probably will just throw the wiper motor in the bin tbh. lol

Thanks man, I'll have a look for that switch. What exactly am I looking for?

Handbrake light could be low brake fluid. Check and fill as required.

or the little metal contact on the lid doesn't stay connected.
