I want 100% standard,  I've got one that I bought on ebay, I might see if I can find anything that will bond it on cleanly securely, any suggestions? there must be people that have fitted a spoiler to non Gti's?

or there is this on ebay

The guy said he would send it wrapped in bubble wrap at my risk !!

just do it properly and swap the rear screen. It isn't hard, push the old one out and pop in the new one, its fiddly but doable in an hour or 2 depending how fast you work.

Yer, your right... what was I thinking, "glue it on"    moment of madness !!

there must be a scrap yard near where u live??

[wilson]

Oh my god.... I never even thought of scrap yards  :embarassed: :embarassed:  I feel sooo stupid, can we delete this whole post !!!  haha

Just called them, they've got one, £25 !   I'm gonna go and get it Saturday !

thanks for all your help !

we all have to start somewhere
£25 is a little steep for a rear screen though, I sell em for £10.  Another thing to check is if your car has green tint glass or not, obviously you want the rear screen to match
Look for a slight green tint on a pice of paper held up behind a window, and check for the word 'tinted' stamped on the glass near the part numbers.

Thanks for the advise I'll have a look.. I get the impression they might have been talking £25 for the whole boolid, but will check when I get there.

Where abouts are you?  is it something you could post...  suppose with post it'd come to around £25 anyway!
