Like you said, the fronts go on with no modification, for the backs, I cut out the center VW emblem and used a rubber rear shock tower boot left over from a Scirocco I had. The cone shaped boot has a lip at the base that when pushed through from the back and contact cemented in place results in a good looking, good working solution. Raul 87 Syncro Westy |
