Does anyone have the specific changes VW made in the spare tire clam shell and wires to accommodate the wider 205 tires? I would imagine the modifications allows for 20 mm increased space but I wonder if there is anything else. Has anyone fabricated an extended hinge adapter to allow using the standard clam shell?
Also, does anyone have 2 extra securing clips (251 801 921) for the clam shell hinge? Pmail me with your mailing address and I'll send you a self addressed stamped envelope and couple of bucks if you'll send them to me. Ed |
