As my 997 Cooper restoration is gaining much momemtum, I will shortly need a new loom. I'll be looking for one in a near as possible to original state. Any recommendations? Does anyone have any feedback on the Minispares ones?
Thanks

I prefer to spend more to get a quality item. As my grandfather says "the quality remains long after the price is forgotten"

I got mine from Autosparks in the UK. I would have liked to have had it made in Australia, but the UK price was significantly cheaper.

Is there much of a difference between the UK and Australian harness?
I think the flasher can may be in the wrong spot.

It is, but they did from the factory a extension wiring loom that put the flasher inside the car

VWH are also amenable to incorporating into the basic harness any special requirements you might have. Talk to them, you'll be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

I've often wondered whether there's any hope of hearing the flasher can ticking when its in the engine bay.
