Title: Boot pop mod strut issue?
Post by: Adsy on January 21, 2016, 11:56:38 am: Hi, apologies if this has been brought up before but I couldn't find anything about it!
I recently purchased the parts I thought were for the boot pop mod but the struts were too long! Has anyone ever had this issue before? I'm not sure if they are the 6Y0 827 550 C skoda Davis struts as I bought them online from a member on here.

Any help greatly appreciated. I may just have to buy the correct ones but who knows.
Cheers
