Thanks man. I bought it as a spare while the G60 was off the road, but had to make it suit me.

Hoping it goes to a good home.

Re: Photobucket pictures

Thanks Jack, I've had a go with the method outlined on vwgolfmk1.org.uk, but PB have actually swapped out my shared photos (thought I'd test with affected images) with the "ransom" message, so I don't get the alternative image refs. While there are a few methods to pull the images themselves from PB ...

doing it on a hot day really does help or alternatively pour warm (not boiling) water over it as you pull to soften the glue
Ah, good plan, that makes sense. Thanks.
