vw_golf_vr6 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Can you post up sometime a photo of your boot carpet, mine came with no boot carpet whatsoever, I managed to pick up the side parts but the main mat was proving hard to get. Eventually i picked up a rubber type one from lower spec vento and a nice black carpet one, but the side carpet parts are grey, the base should be grey also right? I even tried VW they said the part is NLA so can't buy one for love nor money, be nice to see the part I'm missing lol, I'm a stickler for originality and genuine parts.

olly_p 1 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Here you go this is what in me boot need a hoover mind! the side bit arent carpet in mine either.Im guessing a jack goes in the left hand side?also on your rear back box is there a hanger on the end tail pipe, mine has the one right where it joins to the centre box but not at the end.

vw_golf_vr6 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Interesting thanks, mine has space saver 15" steel, the side carpets I have have a storage box on the right (like yours) but on the left is a hinged door where first aid kit, triangle etc go. I'll grab a pic of mine and post up in a sec.re rear box, yea there should be two hangers on it, that I'll photoshop your pic.... Link to post Share on other sites
