Hello!!

New to the forum, my names Andy and I've got a black 9n3 GTI 1.8T and I'm loving it after owning a few other GTI's in the past, Lupo and MK4 Golf 1.8T also. The Polo is my favourite by far!!

Just wondering if anyone knows of a Bodyshop that would take on installing the boot release off a MK8 polo and other Dubs, where the VW Badge is the release?!

Or if anyone on here has had it done?! Cost etc? :s

Thanks Andy.

Basically he bought a tailgate cut the handle out smoothed the other one and then welded the new one in ad a plate. Fairly simple if you know what you're doing :p

the boot handle look sic but must have cost loads to do and have to get rid of the rear wiper but brings the polo up to the present day

Thanks people!!

Not sure I'd want to loose wiper!! Deleted the one on my Mk4, but our lass uses car for motorway miles a bit?! Wouldn't want her chopping someone up not being able to see out back window and smash my new bootlid to bits?!
