Anybody In Here Convert To The Euro Hatch With Big Plate Recess

Re: ANYBODY IN HERE CONVERT TO THE EURO HATCH WITH BIG PLATE RECESS (2.0Lilpat)

There are 3 on the Tex. Steve's was the first, Marc's second, and then mine. Here's a few pics of mine...



Marc's and mine are badgeless and wiperless, and Steve's has the emblem, and I think also the wiper. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

If you just wanna see the euro hatch, why not just look at some of the overseas Golfs since they all have em - check the links section on our club site (sig) for a couple overseas gallery sites

Thx for posting the pics Jeff!
Mine has been changed a bit from when those pics were taken - i've since added a dash of chrome to the rear somewhere.
Ben - ever think of painting your trim panel (above the plate) black to match the black Euro trim?
I've said it before and i'll say it again, the rear plate recess on the European cars is soooooo better looking than the clunky, cheap-o plastic one on the NA cars..

Last summer I almost got one. I found out when I was in germany of a full one in mint condition in candy white like my car for the equivalent of $150, I was going to be able to bring it over for a $70 excess cargo fee if I boxed it up in a crate and sent it under the plane with me then came and picked it up at the cargo area of the airport at home. I was on my way to the yard to get it, but they had sold the whole car to someone...it was sad, it was the only dub I saw in that yard so no cool euro parts for me

Im feeelin the white one with the zwo body kit /the audi rims r perfect for it http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif the yellow one is hot but it would look better with some euro bumpers

Re: ANYBODY IN HERE CONVERT TO THE EURO HATCH WITH BIG PLATE RECESS (VAG Parts Bin)

I hadn't really thought about it, but I just don't know about having a strip of black in the center of the hatch, might look kinda out of place. Maybe if I had the smoked lights it would blend better. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
Although I guess it relly isn't much different than a strip of black on the bumper.

Yea, it is just a shortened Euro recess with a shaved lock plinth. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Look at any A2 with big bumpers, they have the black textured tops on the bumpers and the black thingie on a euro plate recess in back.
