'Ultra rare E-bay item'

More E-Bay rarities, actually these would be OK for a ?5 but thats the starting price. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9889&item=4508405120&rd=1
I have seen these in every GTI in which I've ever looked for them - surely these were a standard fit?

I don't think mine has these :?  :?:

When you see these in the back of a golf im pretty sure it means its an import  
model, correct me if im wrong.

I would tend to agree - saw them in a few LHD Golfs and in a 2-door Jetta(!) that were in breakers over the years, but never in a UK or Irl-spec car.

PS: They're not that desireable, as they only get used when you are folding the rear seats down/back up and, if you want to retro fit them, you'll have to drill holes 8O in the painted area below the rear side windows.

Now I think about it, you could well be right and I to quick to criticise ops: ? My GTi has them but appears to be a rhd import. Thought I'd seen them in other GTIs although at least one of those was an import. Don't have them in my GOLF C but assumed that was because it is a base model.

They are useful as they make the back seat belts look tidy, even with the seats up (mine belts hardly used - passengers are just another wieght to slow you down  :twisted: )

How about that for a complete about face.

Cheers

Have just been out into the car park to look, mine is an import and it has them. Another bloke at work has a uk model and it doesn't have them. You learn something every day!

All the same, I couldn't bring myself to do the drilling, so the pairs that I have from the scrappy are still in storage.

What I also removed from the 2-door Jetta, but did fit to my GTI was the extra headlining section that covers the painted area below the rear side windows and B pillars, and also the (2-door) door cappings from between the door-cards and the door windows (like the cabrio ones, but with the rear end shaped for doors with window-frames). The car was a Lemon Yellow 1980 2-door Jetta originally registered in Switzerland, but imported to Ireland towards the (very rusty) end of its life.

No part numbers visible on any of them, before you ask…  

Know what you're saying. After being told by many that I may one day regret not carrying a fire extinguisher in the car, I bought one. Haven't fitted though as can't bear to introduce my Black And Decker to the car  :roll: .

Those trim covers were fitted on all luxury versions of Series 1 Golf. I have them on my LS (and L I think but would have to check). I am not sure about Series 2. For sure they are not for the GTi. The PNs are on ETKA but sadly obsolete from VW some time ago.

My Oak Green Mk1 had these fitted confirming my suspicions that it was a genuine RHD import. Oak Green must have been available as an option in Germany. Plus mine had the headlamp washers in the front overriders.

Hope it turns up sometime. Should never have sold it  :cry:  :cry: - KRO203Y was its reg no.
