Mooching through german ebay yesterday and spotted this Hella tailgate light thing, just wondering what people think. Bit marmite?

Does not look right

Does not look right

I knew you'd open your big mouth first

I'm not too sure but think its different.

Gotta be done

Looks like some halfords stuck on shit imo

Looks quite 80's. On a mkII bready, it might work, but this models a bit modern to pull it off i think

I suppose, will have to see one in the flesh. got to love the 80's.

they do things like this for golfs and that too. awesome if your an OEM+++ whore i guess but my cuppa.

I think I'm turning into one. cheers for the comment.

i missed out the not in not my cuppa gaaaay! sorry i was ment to say i didnt like it haha.

I figured that one out. no-one likes it

It doesnt sit flush either, so will always look a bit after market budget. Is it a safety kinda thing, Cause they always look shite!

yeah, think it is a safety thing, i like the idea of extra lights, suppose could make slats in the tailgate and ad lights behind, whether it be brake lights or reverse lights.

it was acceptable in the 80's

wa de waaaa

OI!!!! gimme my £6.50 back 'Ricardo-mk3coupe' lol

They featured these in Max Power about ten years ago, and I'm pretty sure, even back then, they said it looked shit

Ah,i remember these from when i used to work at VW in the mid 90s. We had quite a laugh about some of the stuff available for the then-new 6n. These got it,so did the bizarre blue/green coloured tail/indicator lights (the tails became almost popular,but neither the blue or green front indicators did so well).

you cheeky sod, thats exactly what i said to you before you even put this post up!!! lol

You can can get these from UK eBay as well. Saw one in the flesh at a show stall a while back, they look terrible. I've seen anyone running one, and I doubt anyone ever will!

Should make a thread about all the OEM accessories available though

sorry people but he wont reply to my PM's wont reply to paypal wont help in any way so I'm presuming he just never sent the part to me! just took my money for all I know. yeah its only £6.50 but I'm not in the habit of giving away money for nothing!! and being ignored makes me very suspicious

he has sent the part mate,

i was with him in the post office when he sent it,

his paypal account is locked at the minute though and he cant send any money,

as rich said royal mail are looking into it, they never rush themselves when it comes to things like this, I've had problems with royal mail in the past as I'm sure 90% of people have these days,

he's not riping you off and he's not dodgy, just give him chance, he cant do anything until royal mail get back to him

Sorry mate but when I get ignored I get suspicious as would anyone! a simple PM back would have stopped this from happening! no hard feelings ay?

-Hi Jon,

I spoke to royal mail again today and they are sending me the forms to fill in, please bare with me on this one, but the guy on the phone said its a prety straight forward claim and shouldnt take too long.

cheers. Richard.

-Great, let me know what happens mate.

Its still on back order from VW! I've never waited this long for a part before! well annoying

-hi again have you had any luck? let me know, thanks.

Jon

-no?

-hi can you please let me know whats going on your end mate! or shall I take it up with paypal?

-Hi, I know that you must have read my messages as I can see that you have been online since. is there any reason that you are ignoring me? I know its only 6 quid but I'm not in the habit of giving people money for nothing, I'm assuming I can claim the money back through paypal but some contact from you would be much appreciated?

-well if its just a simple form to fill out it wouldnt have been a problem refunding my money by now would it! I have contacted you through paypal and still no response! I'm going to report this to admin if its not sorted out amicably.

Jon.

oh my god I'm really sorry! I had a feeling after you got back to me that I might have been sending those messages to myself somehow! and have checked and I did- I literally dont know how I have done it, just looked in my 'sent messages' and there they are sent to myself I'm really, really sorry for getting so pissy about it but at the time I really did think you were ignoring me as you can see. I thought I was being patient with you as I left big gaps between my PM's but little did I know they werent even getting to you. once again really sorry for the mix up,and yes I am a idiot
