VW Badge

Having replaced my late tailgate with a better quality early tailgate my other half says she'd like the badge back on. The early tailgate has no means to put the badge back as far as I'm aware. Anyone got any suggestions on how to get "badged" once more.

Thanks

Mk 2 golf seats

Hi All,

I've been offered some leather mark 2 golf seats. My question is will they fit and if so what mods will need to be made.

Any advice will be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Is that the hose to the snorkel or the lower hose ?

Changing Interior Spot lights

Hi all

Thinking if changing the interior lights in my van to led lights. Is it just a straight swap using the wiring that's on the original lights ? One is a spotlight and two are strip lights.

Thanks

Hi Stoo

Bad news about your prang. I'm local to you and I use Kult Kkassix just after the hogs back on the A3 in Chiddingfold.
