mk 3 boot lid

[r1k1]

heyy im knew to this im just wondering would a mk 3 boot lid fit on the mk 2? and does anyone know where i can get hold of a cheap spoiler for the mk 2??

it will bolt on at the top yes BUT you will also need the rear panel sides welded in from a mk3 top match as it curves inwards instead of straight down making the whole gap a different shape so not impossible to convert though but not a 5 min bolt on job

spoiler wise checkout the classifieds as there is a few GTI being broken up lately

cheers for that was going to put a mk 3 lid on to save smoothin the mk 2 off but think itd be simpler to get the good old welder out instead

 

[Fl@pper]

probably less work to convert to a mk3 mind just more precise

true true its going to take alota work on that car anyways kus its the 5 door model and its only a 1.4 se

alsso i lowerd it around 40 mm the other day and since then on the drivers front strut it squeaks like mad any ideas??

 

[Fl@pper]

strut top mount in the wrong way up ?

how did you lower it ? coilovers are usually noisy mind

 

[r1k1]

just new springs on the old struts its weird its only the one side that makes the noise .... but both strut tops look like their on the same

 

[Fl@pper]

not overtightened or anything is it ?

 

[r1k1]

i dont think it is.. im going to strip it down and have a look tomorrow . i think the strut might be bent to be hones because it always looks lower on that side

There a couple of spoilers listed on ebay, with or without brake light and in primer for 20 odd quid plus 10 quid delivery.

Hope that helps.

Flapper, I know what you mean about the coilovers being noisey, fitted some on mine in July and they make more noise than my fixed lowering kit did.
