Badly fitting eyelids
« on: 16 January 2007, 22:52 »
I bought some eyelids for my MKIII from VolksBits, and they dont fit.
It looks like they just aint made for the Golf, not quite long enough, and have a lip along the top that stops it sitting flush.

Have I somehow been given the wrong kind of  eyelids, or has anyone else had this same problem?

Had a bunch of s**t like this with bits from places.

Basically, if it doesnt fit I send it back. Cant be bothered to toss around, if its made for the car it should fit no problem.
