Quite straight forward, but I took my time. I didn't cut the ends off the old trim and put it in the oven to split the end caps (as suggested)as I wanted to keep the old trim, I actually managed to cut the end glue out with a Stanley knife. So I can put my old trims back if I wanted. I cut, filed and trimmed the front end first. It took me two attempts to be satisfied, (there's enough trim for about 3 balls ups. Then cut and filed the rear. Once satisfied with the fit I stuck the end caps and applied some double sided tape to the rear. It's a good solution to the problem, but they are not identical to the origional (if that's what you want) theirs a rad on the outer edge that sits slightly proud. The trim sits proud of the body work by about 1.5mm you can't do anything about it at the rear, but I took lots of rubber off the front so it fits flush then gradually rises. But that's being picky. Over all I'm satisfied, and they look much better than my old ones. Well done karmannski. just uploaded more pictures... picture 1 shows that ive taken a lot of material away from front under the front edge so the front end cap fits flush... not much you can do with the rear. the trim sits proud. picture 3 before I stuck the front end cap I filed a big chamfer out of the back edge, so the end cap sit more in line parallel with the trim now. picture 2

Drivers side roof trim installed today... one of Karmannski's

If you don't mind me asking what's the agreed value.

Thanks missed that bit in the translation of orig instructions. Managed to cut the ends out with a Stanley knife. But will try oven with other side.

Why do you need to put the ends in the oven before glue and assembly... Does it aid assembly... Or am I missing the point.

Thanks mine arrived this morning...started drivers side this afternoon... Removed old rubber, cleaned and polished gutter, and removed two glued end bits... Ran out of time.

Standard rims were the speedlines, but their were other options one being Monte Carlo and think brands hatch... But very rare. The storms came with bbs solitudes which were the same as fitted to the golf of that era. You see some non storms with these bbs on these days.

looks good.

Don't think their is much difference in the spec as far as I can see... Let us know please. Also how wide and thick the tape should be... Not taken mine out to see yet.

Any suggestion on glue 3m pr20 or pr100

Ooooo I had a text from parcel Force...

Scotch weld mc100 is for metal... Is pr100 better for plastic and rubber ?

Ok... Will send payment, I've pm delivery address already, please confirm payment when it's recieved.

Assume payment to your username @gmail.com

Pm sent. Also any suggestion of 3m sticky double sided tape we need to buy. Are you producing fitting instructions as I know you had to make a few mods.

Rog, don't need them for mine, but I'm a sucker for collecting those just in case bits..... So I will take one set in silver please... Let me know when you want a fiver.

You forgot turbo. :)

Upgrade the rear calipers to mk4 golf, there not any better for braking but it gives you a better reliable handbrake. Corrado rear calipers are know to seize. Hence why I hardly ever put my on.. http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?40893-Mk4-Golf-Rear-Calipers-Upgrade-Re-Parts

Haha.. Seems I was too late, bring back the old panjo system of buying.... Not this leave a message stuff. I know it's not supported now but it was clear. Hope the new owner of the guages enjoys them.. Should I be looking out on eBay in the next few week.... :)

cheers jenks....

Cheers rob.

Rob, I know you got the loom from the forum... But did you identify the correct relay part number.

If you want to haggle you need to turn up, it shows your intent to buy..... On a different note there are some good deals on new veedubs at the moment. VW uk are subbing dealers to shift stock.
