KieranH 30 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I've come across a VR6 I like and want to offer on it. Only issue is, they showed me this image. Does anyone know if I would be able to fix this myself (must be fairly easy, if too complicated then I probably wouldn't.) Or how much it would cost to fix? I heard this could fail an MOT but, apparently it had it's MOT in the past few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites
KieranH 30 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Anyone? Need some help on this so I know if I should offer on the VR6 or not. Link to post Share on other sites
Mk3highline 287 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I got some rust going like that It can't be much to have it cut out and have a plate welded Link to post Share on other sites
bennyk 1,238 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) I'd probably charge around £150-£175 to cut that out weld a small plate in a smooth it off and repaint it,only problem is you may have to lose the door sill protecter and they are rare as rocking horse $h/t! I know because I've been trying to buy one for months!!!! Edited February 13, 2015 by bennyk Bealieboy and KieranH 2 Link to post Share on other sites

bennyk 1,238 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Yeah, would be very hard to stick it back down nicely and you can't buy them new anymore. Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't someone tell it if they are breaking a Golf Mk3? Not only that, I am sure there is some nicer chrome ones out there. Link to post Share on other sites
bennyk 1,238 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) No mate chrome halfords special ones aren't better!! Lol! It's little bits like that, that if still there and intact will make the car be more original and worth more in years to come.

When/if I get a VR6, I won't be building it to be worth more in the in the future, I'd build it the way I want it to look. Though I will never buy cosmetic car parts from halfords. daveyboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
