Jnathan Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Still after one of these.. have tried almost everywhere now. Car arrives on saturday and keen to get project underway. If i have no joy will be smoothing, any recommendations in the south east for a reputable bodyshop to carry out this work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 9N3 Polo high level brake light is about as close as I can see via VW, may need modding to fit but could be a possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to do a bit of fiddling to try and keep it oem, out of interest are the standard 9n3 and the gti using the same brake light ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 9N3 GTI's use a Mk5 Golf lamp which is a different design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jnathan Posted March 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Thanks lupogtiboy.. Hmm looks like it could be more trouble than its worth. The connections look very different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I'm sure you could swap the Lupo inners with the Polo's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jnathan Posted March 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I can definately have a look but the brake light lens is cracked which is probabky the root of the problem in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jnathan Posted March 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Turns out theres a little more bodywork involved, couple of scabs on front arch so hopefully get the car into a bodyshop this weekend and see what the damage is. May bet the front end and bootlid resprayed. Indicator is also playing up intermittent. And the thermostat issue running cold apart from that drives very well.

JasperIrl Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I bought a genuine OEM brake light about 2 years ago. It was cheap enough from what I remember. Can you not get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
