Found thes while i was mooching about the net, for mk4 golfs so presumably they'll fit the preface lift leon also, made by a company in the usa called vw4sport, but as yet I havn't be able to track them down

Ok bit of an update I've discovered that vw4sport is a bloke on one of the usa based golf forums, who makes carbon bits, and looking at the quality of his work, it's gonna be pricey for example a vw badge at $100.....

Heres a link to another thread (not mirror one) which shows some of his goodies, also his email addy, as i said before i believe he's one of the posters who makes carbon bit's, i haven't been able to find a company website for vw4sport

Any way try sending him an email, [email protected] you never know....

cheers mate
ill give him an email

next state across from where my mate lives so can always get them shipped to texas first if he isnt willing to export

 

[Cupraloon]

Shipping to uk, That was my thought, perhaps as a group we might get a discount, on a few sets, let us know what he says...


It's just a shame we can't get bits like this over here, as usual the uk market is limited, fine if you want huge ugly max power type crap, but quality stuff is very thin on the ground...

 

[RikH]

see what reply i get
can always get my mate to send them or fetch them next time he comes over here

I'd be up for a set of carbon mirror cases if they were the proper clip on OEM style ones.

 

[RikH]

ok, had a reply from the states...

Thats out of the window they are like $335 dollars....unless I am looking at the wrong item?

 

[RikH]

yep
i know
basically half it
£ to $ is 1.98 atm iirc

still alot once you've paid for shipping

 

[Cupraloon]

Christ almightly told you they'd be pricey looking at the quality thats £170 almost for 2 mirror covers at current exchange rates + shipping

As good as they undoubedly are, think I'll pass for the moment...
