Game changer for the Lupo, Made something not very practical into something a little more usuable 😄 I've got some genuine ones which go on with ease I've had mountain bikes on mine on occasion and a Roof top tent more than anything. No damaged caused to the car and never had them come loose. Tightened to 6NM I've PPF'd where the rubber feet and brackets sit just to protect to paintwork for marks and scratches Theres some marks in the rear glass for the roof bar brackets, just sit the bracket between them marks and tighten down

Quick google brings up some listings on autodoc. Might be what you need That number might have superseeded to something else now also @lupogtiboy might be able to confirm if the number has changed.

Good luck with the sale I've been watching this all week to gauge an idea of what mine might be worth How is the experience of selling on collecting cars? As it may be where i list mine

I run 195/45 uniroyal rainsports on my GTi Id recommend anything over Toyos. Terrible tyre my gti had on when i bought it. Think 195/50 scrub on full lock

I'lll take any you have. Price and location? I'm a roof bar collector.

Does it have JVC unit have DAB? If it does.. Just an idea to swap it out for a dummy shark fin that come on the MK6 golf or scirocco?

Fair enough. Do you still use the factory head unit?

Why do you need to replace it?

6X2 837 014 C drivers side i managed to get from my dealer as VW UK still had some stock. Passenger side number i have is 6X2 837 013 N. That one I'm unable to source

I'll check with my guys tomorrow see if i can get one. Any idea of a alternative for the passenger side?

Now on ebay with photos and a bigger description only listing on here because the 1.4tdi is sought after https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134438291484

Are you offering me one? Don't think i want another anthracite gti 😄

I've kept all my original parts also regardless of condition because if the car goes the parts can remain with it. Technology moves quickly which should keep some odd parts available like you said if someone is already 3d printing washer jet covers how long before someone starts making 3rd brake lights? I understand you. A number of times over the past few months I've looked at parting ways with mine, however I cant find a worthy replacement and I'm too attached to mine to let it go regardless of what it may need in terms of repair.

Its all a matter of opinion. Yes, parts are now increasing more difficult to source but a good aftermarket option or an improvement on the original wouldn't put me off. A full stainless exhaust which may have slightly different tips doesn't mean its going to be any louder. Its 2023 the factory head unit and speakers are not great. So what's the harm in an upgrade? If you want a completely standard car you ain't going to be using it. When it does need parts you cant source it will become neglected. Personally its all about future proofing these cars to keep them going and it that means making better than original I'm all for that!

Anyone gone aftermarket on GTi door locks? Genuine ones are now obsolete dropped 11/2022. The genuine numbers don't cross with anything aftermarket
