deffo us style mk3 boots are ace

phil that looks awesome!

didn't even know these existed

They don't.

The US never got any modle polos over there.

That will be a UK boot lid with a US plate resess welded in. (i am about 90% on that)

Looks good, but i will hold back untill i see it on the car

I think it will look good depending of how the car looks on your new wheels!

Dont know why i thought this but i did

from our "man in japan" mayb??

....like it n lookin forward to seein it on.

what made me think it was from japan.. from what i know uk glass dont fit so hope u got the jap glass to go in it.

david.

Isn't it a jap spec boot?

What I heard is the uk glass doesn't fit, Jap spec is different.

Schweet!

Nice find chap!

nice, i want one of them for my polo

saw a mk4 golf with a lithuania plate the other day and it had that style recess on the bumper, could of come from anywhere!

I think that's definately a Jap part. Recess looks a little bigger than that of the US size... at a glance. Very cool

Can see here for example the current Polo in Japan. The recess in particular:

We know the Mk5 existed over there. I'd hazzard a guess as to the Mk4 being there too?

that window deffinitly looks bigger

that window deffinitly looks bigger

just what i heard.. dont think theres alot in it but deffo bigger. think they came with the glass for this reason.

yeh its a jap spec part, never though about checking whether the glass fits so that could be interesting but to me the window looks no bigger. definately a genuine part too as its brand new and theres no welds at all.

get yer tape measure out boy

get yer tape measure out boy

funny you should say that was literally just about to go get jiggy with the tape measure

Go measure your........

Window!

measurements match up nicely so as i thought the windows must be the same :)
