Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 think you can get them from Euro's or GSF but the fit is meant to be pretty bad - have you tried VW mate ? Link to post Share on other sites
AcousticNRG 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 no not yet mate , i gathered they woould be most expensive? Link to post Share on other sites
oldmandon 1 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Got a price today from europarts. £63.46 for both wings, that INCLUDES vat. was £28 + vat per side i think.GSF don't do any body panels any more, checked there too Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 no not yet mate ' date=' i gathered they woould be most expensive?[/quote']yeah but in this case I have heard so many bad things about repalcement body panels from the others I think they would be worth it mate Link to post Share on other sites

oldmandon 1 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Have you tried www.carz2.co.uk?GOOD find...listing wings (oval indicator) £22.10 each a side, would have to add vat i guess, still a good price... Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 until someone has bought one and seen what the fitting is like mate I would be careful as said above I have seen pics and heard peeps have so much trouble with replacement body panels I personally would stick to VW Link to post Share on other sites
oldmandon 1 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I understand what you are say too, I had a mk2 that had replacement panels, luckily mine was good, but a friends wasn't??? I do think it's down to the quality of the panel..as you say, some are crap. suppose the addage "you gets what you pay for" holds true...... Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Im with Ben on this one. Had a pattern part and the metal is thinner and it was a bitch to fit right.Id buy genuine panels myself now.There's a reason they are called pattern parts you know Link to post Share on other sites
