Sausage Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Looking for side by side comparisons of the spare wheel wells (minus contents) of vanilla, 16v sport and GTI etc. Any pics? is it just the wheel well that is different or more involved? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 normal is crap. sport is a half but a spacey fits because there is no battery. gti is different again with a battery tray in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sausage Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Yes but a picture paints a thousand words and all that.... Was looking into options for battery relocation and maybe centre exhaust while at it. Probably just mod the existing well tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sausage Posted August 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Thanks, anyone know the sport part number and prices for the new panels? Guessing i'd have to chop the bottom out anyway on a sport well if i wanted a battery and skinny spare in there together, or find a teeny tiny battery?

hoddlewaddle Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 It's a couple of hours work (by a competent welder, not a shaven ape like myself) to cut and adapt the standard boot floor to fit a centre exhaust and spacesaver wheel. Be advised, if the new exhaust is of a larger bore than standard, it *may* end up catching on the brake lines and bias valve, and therefore need a bit of tweaking to fit. Also the rear bumper needs notching for the tailpipe to fit. Handily, I know a fella who does it, so if you're ever in the North Yorkshire area...

Sausage Posted August 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I'll most likely just mod the existing well, but would like it to look oem not DIY. So a factory panel if they are reasonable money could still be the way to go. Exhaust system will be large bore otherwise why bother.

Cypha Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Battery Relocated using a motamec ali battery tray. The battery has been replaced now with a much larger version. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motamec-Std-Size-Alloy-Car-Battery-Tray-Aluminium-Box-Holder-Black-Powder-Coated-/292161080417?hash=item4406284c61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchouki85 Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 hello everyone, I like this mod and I risk doing it 200% knowing that I already have the exhaust, and the rear bumper painted so I have to find the plate, if anyone has it one that he gives me a sign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
