    Front License Plate Bracket

    I'm looking for a new or excellent used 3W3Z-17A385-AAA (marked 3W3D-17A385-ABW) front license plate bracket. I know there are others available that'll fit, but I'd like to stick with the OE part and re-use the existing holes.

    I used the newer style bracket where you have to slightly modify it to fit flush, holes are the same. The differences are hardly noticeable. 6W7Z-17A385-AA and it is only 15 bux vs over $100 for an OEM one used. There is a thread here somewhere if you want to search.

    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    Yes, thanks, I saw that when I searched the forum before starting this topic. The OE part has apparently been discontinued and I don't want to use one of the replacements if I don't have to.
