How much you pay for the rear shelf suspenders? Are you able to get anymore? I'm jotting down a few part numbers for you ;)

Cheers Tek, the suspenders are € 5,00 each. I'll get back to you regarding availability. Think he has some more.

Mike,

I'm planning on taking the back bumper off this weekend, will shoot some pics and upload them.
By the way, I'm taking the damn thing off in the near future, allready have a spare GSi bumper without the hole and ordered a new rear part to go on.
If you want you can have it!

Edit: the tow bar that is....

Nice finds indeed! Mr. Vlietje makes me want to hate him for gathering so many excellent new parts. :thumb:

If you can get another gear gaiter I would be very grateful and willing to cover the costs for buying and sending to the UK for my own silk violet project. Similar OEM specs, but very different model.

Loving this thread, will be watching this.
