Jimjam 0 Posted January 30, 2005 They're in Rushington, near Southampton - on the same industrial park as GSF. Has anybady used them and, if so, are they any good? If not, are there any other decent places near Southampton to get the car serviced? Also, browsing ETKA I came across what appears to be a flashing door pin surround (like you get on newer VWs). Can anyone confirm whether these were ever available at all? US market, perhaps? Part no is 535 919 238. Ta. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not too sure, but I'd assumed so - perhaps somebody else can confirm this. If they're still available you can probably fit them if you're prepared to run some wiring through the doors to them.

Jimjam 0 Posted February 2, 2005 I've already got wiring in place - I bought some off ebay, but they were appalling. I left the wiring there in case I ever bought some more. I might drop into the dealer to see if they can source these. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 8, 2005 They certainly know their stuff, alan was one of the first to do a VR transplant into a Mk2, may have even been the 1st, it was Gavin Haliday's oak green mk2 from Southside Car Audio That's right. Had a pretty awesome number plate aswell 'HAD 16V' Didn't it initially have a supercharger as part of the conversion, but was later removed? This is going back a few years though.. Autotechnik definitely get my recommendation anyway. Always happy to give useful, free advice. Cheers Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A company I can highly recommend and who are also all well into their dubs, usually go to GTi international every year, top boys! Gavin Earley. Yep, all sound guys. It initially had a supercharger on it, but he sold the car to one of the mechanics at Autotechnik who then proceeded to sell all the best parts from it ie. charger, custom leather recaro trim, rallye front etc etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
