Scuttle Cover

Hi all,
The black plastic scuttle cover that covers the wiper motor and heater etc on my rocco is missing. Has anyone made a replacement, if so what did you use?

Re: Show us your Mk2 - picture thread.......

They're 15's, from a Rover GTI I think, £25 with tires from Ebay. Be rude not to at that price.

Re: Boot popper

I've smoothed my boot and got the popper wired to the wiper stalk. It unlatches enough to open the boot and thats with a spoiler. Deffinately check your wiring though because I managed to melt mine when welding up the boot lock hole, DUH!

Re: Best Paint for spraying wheels

I always use Plastikote paint. Really hard wearing, doesnt chip etc. Goes on nice and really glossy so no need to put on a top coat.

As for the coil, got two knocking about from other projects and both in good nick, tested with a multimeter etc. The spark from the coil isnt too bad but its not the hefty blue spark I'd expect. As ...

Re: Mk2 Golf GTI Backbox

Its not that difficult TBH. I've got a mk2 gti exhaust from the downpipe back and it only really needed a short extension and a reducer adding between the centre box and downpipe and a hanger welding on the backbox. Fits good, no leaks or rubbing etc.
