I,d want to do it out of 0.9,stick GTI in whever you wanted it and Topcat,which bits you sanding down to fit???..
When it sit's inproperly i'm presuming that it is supposedl'y sits in flush with the alu look surround's. It is tight in acouple of places so i think iv'e got to sand the inner edg'es of the rev counter side

i blinged my rover in a similar way, was brushed stainless steel and didnt cause any reflective problems

be careful of the double sided adhesive, the cockpit will get very hot and no doubt make the glue come unstuck, i had this happen to me  :huh:

cost about £20 off ebay





I don't think a semi will give the same results

Be careful when reworking,make sure you follow the grain which would become a pain when sanding the top of the arc.I,d just reduce the rad until it fits perfect.What was wrong with the inserts for you to remove them and wot you ordered from VW??  :rolleyes:

Is it the full handle,if so it needs developing flat with comp for bends,then folding.Can be done I reckon but I need the unit removing from the seat for accurate measurement.I reckon thats gonna be a right ball ache.
