six appeal 53 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 You can either go to Halfords and buy the standard Sony clips to get it out.Or altenatively get 2 hacksaw blades and stick them in the slots to release it! ;o) Link to post Share on other sites

six appeal 53 Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Yeh they look well nice Justin, all you need now is the Aluminium Mk4 g/lever to match. It goes nice with the Aluminium wheels and with a little jiggery pokery looks factory fit with the original gaitor! ) Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted June 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 havent seen the alu one? I had a couple of leather mk4 ones but the gaitors were a little too short... got any pics si? Link to post Share on other sites
