Good feedback everyone.


One thing I would do to improve the install is to remove the the little "nubs" where the screws go. You can see in the photo a small gap at the base of the hook. I think grinding those off would make a better looking install.

Looks nice and probably better than BMWs own solution http://www.shopbmwusa.com/ProductDet...&ProductId=248 or see http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ighlight=hooks

I got it installed today. Definitely a great product.

Just like Jim recommended, I shaved off the bottom tabs. Now it is nice and flush.

Nice solution.
Its a pity that the shipping costs to the Netherlans is 41 USD.

You might be able to order from a more local VW dealer?

Just found and purchased a cheaper aftermarket solution for these and just wanted to share:

Look at this on eBay:
