GLPoomobile 958 Posted November 28, 2010 What do you think might be different about the two? That's not supposed to be an arsehole reply, but rather than give you a simple yes or no, have a think about it for a second Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DamirGTI 341 Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) In fact , there is "a difference" .. not the bootlid itself but the bootlid hinges - Ph1 has one hole mount hinges , while Ph2 has two (for the bolts ..) .. so , make sure you take the bootlid along with the hinges .. in order to save yourself a bother of drilling if you end up with Ph1/Ph2 mix ...

GLPoomobile 958 Posted November 29, 2010 Excellent point Damir And I'm ashamed that I didn't think of that when trying to encourage TheHawk to think about it, since I've been there myself. On my old Ph2 GTI the bootlid had 2 bolts per hinge, and I then picked up a replacement boot that turned out to only have 1 bolt per hinge. But interestingly, the hinge had slightly indented markings on it corresponding to the 2 holes on the later bootlid. I drilled new holes (slightly oversized to allow some adjustment) and all was well again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GLPoomobile 958 Posted November 29, 2010 You've come to the right place Forgive me if my original post came across as patronising. Sometimes it's better to encourage a little bit of lateral thinking rather than spoon feeding a simple answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
