Next mods;  sending dash off (finally!) for flocking, boot pop mod (ordered fabia struts off eBay), super blue brake fluid (ordered) Hopefully some Pagid RS4-2 pads too depending on bills.

Still waiting for my fuel filter to turn up.

Super quick, subtle Mini mod to save my sanity.....

Always plug in passenger seat belt if no one is in the car cause it knocks and bangs while im driving.

I put a strip of the soft half of velcro on the buckle.....

....then realised why not just use the other half and can stick it to the pillar when not in use :)





Does it not rattle & bang on the Golf?

No. VW are far far superior in every way.  :grin:

But my actual answer would be: Probably yes. It is but a small part of the rattle, squeak & bang symphony currently going on in my cabin.  :grin: :evilgrin:
