Just looked on etka and they have different part numbers, also Golf is listed as et50 and Scirocco is listed at et41

Post by: tony_danza on August 06, 2010, 05:43:02 pm: There's no way in hell a Golf R has landed in the lap of a backstreet breakers, none whatsoever. I think we all know how these parts were sourced.

Post by: neg on August 06, 2010, 05:48:15 pm: So he has the wheels (unmarked), bumpers now not listed (or on completed) and also the complete interior.

I suppose anything is possible ...
