Title: Back box for 140 ???
Post by: brown-1234 on August 07, 2012, 03:14:40 pm
Hi all

I currently have a gt140 and im wanting the 170 rear lower bumper and back box.. I cant seem to fins any online at the minute and the sealers are like £260 and im not wanting to pay that. Just wondering if the GTI back box would fit as there is a second hand one i have..

Is there any Topics on here of people changing ?

GTI backbox will fit fine. I did this on my old GT TDI, can't remember if you'll need a reducer...

Just take it to an exhaust place theyll fit it cheap. There is something like a 5mm bore difference but they sort that with ease
