Boot bolts,

Post by red6n2 »

Hi,

To cut a long story short my mrs has a 9N3 she was at work and someone done a hit and run leaving it like this

So she bought new boot lid but I thought the bolts were torx bolts but turns out there not and there not normal... Anyone know what they are
?. I'm gonna change it over but would like to use the right tools so not to wear the bolts down.

Can anyone help ?.

Think they are called multi spline if there the ones I'm thinking of! Similar to torx but more splines!

Thats a very odd impact mate, it looks like the classic reverse into a lamp post but no damage on the bumper?

If it wasnt a lamp post it would have to be an odd shaped car.

I dont think B n Q would do the bits as they are more automotive but halfords do them.

Urgh and as if that weren't enough she bought a bootlid off eBay luckily through pay pal I spent two hours transferring all electrics, wiper
Motor etc over ad it doesn't fit. the locking cache sits to high it's obviously come off a rear ended polo and it mishapen and taught the bootlid and one side over shuts and the other is a good inch off but the tops flush I text the guy saying I work with cars and that it doesn't fit and that I can tell that is come off a car that's been shunted and I want a refund or I'm going through paypal and he's agreed to sort it tomorrow but he advertised it as a boot in perfect condition and the pic he used was of a 9n3 with no damage at all which isn't possible given the boot is so badly miss shaped what a waste of a day
