Chinese spec Jetta

think you'll find passat16v didn't
he got them from the same guy as me off vwvortex forum

here's my chinese jetta taillights and handles

 

Would they be legal in the UK?

 

well i've had mine for 3 years now and the cars never failed an MOT

 

Don't shoot the messenger!!

 

didn't mean too..sorry

 

Is it just me or the rear lights different on passat16v rear clusters, that got off e-bay.jp??

 

I though passat16v had M3 style rear lights

 

The translation of this is actually...

Yi Chi - Da zhong

Yi = First
Chi = Car
Da Zhong = populace

So... it's basically a literal translation of Volkswagen...eg 'Peoples Car'

There are aparently two Volkswagens in China

http://www.faw-volkswagen.com/

And

http://www.volkswagen.com.cn/

FAW is actually a state owned company that licences the rights from VW to produce their older models whereas the other one is the 'real' volkswagen making the newer cars..

That explains the curious mix of old and new. Like Daewoo and the old Vauxhaul Astra. They licence the old body shape but have used newer components to bring it more up to date.

And guess what I have coming from china

madness, nice though!

 

I want those door handles for my MKII!!!!

 

Blimey Gav, you know some stuff

 

I've also got the same handles as passat16v and jettaman....they're superb, much better than the standard Mk2 handles IMO!
Only cost $30 inc postage from the US too.....

 

Sadly I'm very thick and stupid

I just asked my boss who used to live and work in China.

 

Where can we get the badge

 

You know where

 

Did I hear my name mentioned

Door handles are chinese spec,bought via cullen off Vw Vortex. (arrived from the far east)

My M3 light where bought from Bob Lee who hails fromHong Kong, PLUS he did send me the wrong ones at first, which where the chinese spec redish ones.

and I have just emailled him and asked him to forward me a price for the rear badge set up.

and I will let you know the score once I have fitted my set
