Title: Pictures of boot handle replacement
Post by: funkythumbs42 on June 06, 2011, 02:33:09 pm

hi guys

looking to replace my boot handle as my 55 gti one is all white wormed.

I know the newer style ones stick out by 2mm....does anybody have any images of what this actually looks like before i take the plunge.

Want to keep the car looking em so not really interested in spraying or wrapping

cheers

greg

Could go with the MK6 one instead, no sticking out at all and looks much cooler:

Not got the side on pic of my old 2 piece one, but it did stick out a couple of mm
