Hopefully sombody can be the owner of this nice & clean example 😎👍🏻

For some reason I can’t upload a screenshot of it on here now?!?🙄
Go check it out on YouTube…

Thought I’d post this in case useful for others. Just installed a Blaupunkt Wolfsberg 648. Designed as a VW direct replacement. Not the cheapest option but the advantage was that it was totally plug and play with everything needed in the box and has quite an OEM look. Works out of the box with all the steering wheel buttons and even sends podcast, radio and Track information to the

That'#039s strange I wonder why they went through the trouble of swapping the front ends. Perhaps it'#039s one of those strange things we'#039ll never get to know the reason.

Manufacturer promotion for the newly released MK6 and the MK6 benefits from a more aerodynamic front end, with optimized air

I don'#039t drive the Golf in the winter time (I sold the winter tires some time ago and there has been a lot of snow). I only got to maneuver the car in my yard. So, I can'#039t really provide an accurate feedback. I would have really liked to see how the seats and steering wheel feel, but I'#039ll have to wait for spring. I'#039ll provide my first impressions after the first, proper, spring

But all information about those modification are a bit confuse and scattered, so below you’ll find an overview of what I understood reading several tread:

Location: Manchester
Collection Only

For Sale is my old Pearl Black Edition 30 rear valance. This clips into the upper section of your rear bumper.
This was removed from my golf due someone backing into me at low speed causing surface cracks. (they offered to pay for a new valance)

The surface cracks are around the the number plate area which I've tried to photo the best i can.

The exhaust surround has been bonded back on by the body shop after an encounter with a high kerb a few years ago.

There are storage scratches on the paintwork so will need respraying. You will also need a towing eye cover.

All clips to clip the valance upper bumper section are intact and there is no sign of warping.

This is a genuine valance and was fitted to my ED30 from the factory.
