Boot Struts

I'm watching these again on ebay:

Just wanted to make sure the 1 bidder isn't on here.

Ask him if he's got any more, and would he sell privately... Those Mk II Golf ones I bought are just ridiculously strong, and I've found that grabbing the spoiler to close flexes it slightly, I'm afraid that I will crack the paint, as it's already weak along the seam and has been touched up once already by me when I bought it. I might just give it a rub over with some wet 1200 grit and give it a touch up with some spray .

Will do. What are you willing to pay.
Can't see them doing a private sale if we on;y want to pay the 19.95 +shipping they start the bidding at.

Morning gents - yep add me to the list for a set if youre making an enquiry please. Not sure about price though? I seem to remember another make that came up on here costing £50 ?? so less than that I guess.

Currently using a bit of 2x1 to prob the boot lid open - does nothing for the image

Just go down the scrappy and get some off a newish write off, 206 expect to pay around £10 max for the pair. Just swap the fittings over from your old struts and Brenda is your tranvestite uncle.

Russ, she if he'll do the 3 sets for £60 plus postage, you can bring them along to japfest.. only take a minute to swap over.

Marty, I know I can get some 206 ones from a scrappy... but some chrome ones would be nice... just not prepared to pay more than around £20 for them.

If we get them, does anyone want some extra strong MkII golf lifters?

But that involves finding a scrappy with a 206 (I know they'll be pretty common, but still), removing the struts without breaking them (difficult with a hammer

).
The conveience of delivery, and shiney ones at that... worth a little effort

Shiney finey, the 206 ones just pull off on plastic ball joints, paint them with chrome effect enamel paint and billy is your goat.

it's not a problem, at least it made for some entertaining reading.
And from what I've seen, this isn't the first thread you two have hijacked this morning

**Oddball** · 4-14-05, 6:14

I have had my eye on those struts also... so add me to the list if he's interested in a bulk buy ..

I couldn't possibly comment

Hope you get you deal on the shiney struts

**Russellg** · 4-14-05, 9:40

OK guys. they'll do these for us at £23.45 inc VAT and delivery.
Not too bad an offer considering the last lot on ebay went for £38.
You all still in and I'll bring them down to Japfest
