Also got an 02m gearbox with shafts etc, just need to justify purchasing a new flywheel kit for a 2008 1.9tdi van with a perfect flywheel.

Yep mines made from two also, I wondered if there was anything in the engine bay that needed to be moved around to accommodate the fitting, wasn’t sure if the screen wash bottle needed moving

Ahhhh sorry m8 I wasn't sure if you thought it was taken straight off a gti and fitted ImageImage... no nothing to move a very easy fit .....did you make the bumper yourself?...the only other thing I can recall is the very lowest part of the bumper where it goes back under the van I put a few screws in there to pull it back up ..... on the gti it would probably have fitted to a sump guard here

Has it made much difference with the sound deadening on the front doors mate? Mirrors look smart by the way 👍

I live in the Netherlands, but i just ordered online a piece of 130 x 60 cm poly-carbonate, and cut it out myself. The black strip you see is a anti draft rubber, from the local hardware store. also used 30x30 mm plates and m8 bolts to keep it in place.

Polycarbonate plates which are big enough you can buy in most hardware stores as well.
