Scutttle panel replacements - Whats yours got?
« on: 12 November 2005, 10:29 »
The scuttle panel on mine has broken and cracked so will be replacing with either a Vag hard plastic one or does anyone know if there's an alternative ie carbon ?

all smiles do a carbon one but to be honest they are sh!t. just a piece of carbon fibre shhet cut to shape and poorly fitting. i'd stick to the hard VAG one

Just go for a nice clean VW one from down the scrappy  :smiley:
I picked one up last weekend, a bit tatty but nothing that some scrubbing and kiwi boot polish won't solve  :laugh:
