Funny thing the Rallye windscreen comes up alot its bonded and I got the last one when it was at the sprayers!
God knows where he can get a bonded tinted Rallye one for it? If he sticks a 16ver one in I'll be upset!
My poor Darko bet she wants to come home for some TLC  :grin:
Gald to see other people seeing there cars still on the road, glad I don't see mine  :lipsrsealed:

Yh, glad I sold mine to my dad, didn't want some chav killing it, but my dad is running it lower then I had it  :grin:

My dad owns my previous Peugeot 106. Such a terrible car, yet he's adamant it's great. Good riddance to it lol. As for the rest, one is scrapped, the other I have yet to see again.

Looks like a fat-ass.  You're better off without her.

Bonded screens are available - lots were fitted in the USA where the Golf2 went on for a few years after they finished production here.  They upped the spec to include a bonded screen, so you just have to ask the right people and one can be sourced.

There's also VW Heritage for all that previously difficult to get hold of stuff as well - it's saved a lot of T25 Syncros from the scrapyard now.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

She was heavy DH loosing lots of BHP on the transfer box, but its still one to have in a die hard Dub collection.
JV was having issues sourcing one and still has I think?
 Funny thing was when I got mine it was done on insurance cover so all I paid was £60 excess for it. Autoglass had to get it from VAG it took one week for it to arrive, but the seal on the firewall scuttle needed doing so the whole screen had to come out and there was a large chip anyway that couldnt be repaired.
Alot of Sycro lads have the 16v sealed screens as they are still available, but some consider that sacrilege :lipsrsealed:

If the lad comes on here I will help him out, after all the Clipperjay's warranty is still good on her  :laugh:
You spent a bit of time on VW syncro website didn't you? My user name was RoyalRallye but I've been de-activated over there  :rolleyes:
