Replacing 9 Broken and Expensive Plastic Parts on the R32
Today on the R32 we replace a bunch of broken interior trim. Must of the plastic on the R32 has not aged well. We will replace: Center console, radio bezel, lower dash trim, hatch struts, dash vent, battery box, and sunroof trim. Sadly this is a silly amount of parts to replace and they are not cheap. Was it dumb to replace all these parts new? Probably... Do I regret it, no way LOL.
Taylor wants to modify a 2.0 MK3 Golf. What repairs and maintenance should be completed before making a modification. This is good advice for any cars. Maintenance should always come before modification.
