Where do I buy Rockinghams??
« on: 16 September 2007, 17:34 »
OK you lot I drove a GTI on the weekend and looks like I'll be going for a 5 door Edition 30 in red, BUT, I must, must, must, must have  :grin: a set of those nasty black rockinghams. Dealer says no way.

So where do I get them from??? Can I ring up a dealer in Europe and order a set or is there another way?

AFAIK you can only source them from a European dealer or Fleabay :nerd:

UK stealers can also order them too.

BTW, did anybody see the three or four sets for sale at Inters, on the official VW stand?  Wonder if they all went?

Really? Can you name one? I have a mate who's a VW dealer and he has told me they can't and neither can my local dealer..  :undecided:

ANY VAG main stealer can order them.  The problem with most stealers is they employ muppets, who can't actually search for specific part numbers without giving them a VIN.  I'm sure someone on this forum managed to get the part number, and got his local stealer to order them for his Ed30.

EDIT: I think it was OllieB, but could be mistaken!
