....

Cheeky fleaBay baasturd! No mention of the white worm and it will gradually get worse and worse.

Also, they don't cost much more than £65 new, IIRC!!

Don't touch it with a barge pole man, and as for the £90 from the stealers claim they have added - pile o dung!!!  :rolleye:

Selling a boot handle with white worm!?! - he/she obviously replaced this boot handle with a new one and is hoping some poor sod will buy their white worm infected one without any knowledge of how it affects the metal finish long term - hence they get some of their spent money back

I would rather go to a breakers or stealers - at least you can get a proper look at it and walk away if it doesn't suit

I had my badge changed by vw and it was no where near as bad as that.
Feel sorry for the person who falls for this scammer.

If anyone seriously does need one of these, then I have a spare mint one from when I swapped to the CF one. :smiley:

Yes.

But, then I would say that wouldn't I :grin:

Seriously though, I believe the flat version simply sticks on, so you wouldn't need a full lock, but I don't know if they are still available. :confused:

Obviously if you want to "upgrade" to the 3D version, you would need the lock mechanism too. :happy2:
