The bracket in the boot..
« on: 09 January 2011, 07:44 »
Just wondering what or if some of you guys have made use of the bracket in the boot?
It may have held a warning triangle and first aid kit from the factory i don't know..
Might like to make use of it for it's intended purpose if anything fits..just trying to keep the ole gal in standard spec, still got the original stereo in there, it's crap! but original  :cool:

Luckily, mine has the original tools and triangle still fitted in bracket
Failing anything, just remove bracket etc, and give a bit more boot space?

Lol Dom you smug bugger!
Have a browse around for a second hand safety kit or something?
Although my vote is to remove it and make it look clean and tidy!

Mine holds a spare can of oil. Never actually had cause to use it so far with the Golf but old habits die hard!
