late spec roof gutter trim wtf?
« on: 18 January 2012, 20:56 »
so, since I have owned my mk4 one of the roof gutter trims has been missing, well I got another from the breakers the other day. It seems to sit slightly lower in the channel than the original one! looked at a mates 52 plate and both his were the same depth as the one I got from the breakers, which was an s reg. It shouldn't, but its gonna bug me now!

Anyone heard of two different types?  :laugh:

haha I had one missing, so took the other side out to match...

think I lost the drivers side. so if you got the drivers side Ill have it and you can get the other side from the breakers. :lipsrsealed: :grin:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
