markandnikki 7 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Hi all, we have just bought ourselves a 1994 vr6 which we will be picking up this weekend, hopefully photos will then follow. Had originally been looking for a v6 4motion but couldn't resist this one when we saw it. Bealieboy and Gwr corrado 2 Link to post Share on other sites

markandnikki 7 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hi, well picked up the vr6 yesterday and had a great drive home, car is amazing condition with only 54000 miles and i can't find any rust anywhere, runs beautifully. The bonnet is the only let down as the lacquer is peeling so I am looking for another correct coloured bonnet. This was all great until today when I let my lovely wife drive to cambridge and she promptly rear ended a car with a tow ball, mint bumper is now fubared. It has bent the bumper iron which stopped just short of the radiator so could have been worse. Wife will now be sleeping outside. Link to post Share on other sites

markandnikki 7 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 has anyone used Stevens vw dismantlers near chelmsford. I am going to go there this week to try and get the replacement bits I need but can't see from their website if thats possible or if you can only order online. I prefer going in person and seeing what i am buying. Also the front bumper now has a big dent in the top black more rigid part, is it possible to heat this and try to bend it back or am i wasting my time? Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Stevens are pretty good, they're about 10 mins from me and the parts are guaranteed too. They are on eBay too! Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Hang on! A local club member is possibly breaking a mk3 vr. I've let him know, he could well contact you. Edited May 3, 2015 by Bealieboy Link to post Share on other sites
bennyk 1,238 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hi you could very get away with heating up the bumper to repair it, I do it all the time at work and I have just broken a mk3 vr and have a front crossmember/bumper support and a front panel if needed. I'm only down the road from you in Stortford. Link to post Share on other sites
markandnikki 7 Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 HI bennyK, I have managed to do a pretty good repair on the bumper today with a heat gun, if you didn't know it had been bent I don't think you would see it. However the bumper iron/crossmember is well bent so I need a new one and would be interested in yours please, what are you looking for it, what other bits do you have as I am after a few? cheers Link to post Share on other sites
bennyk 1,238 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 I'll take £10 for the bumper support, I've pm'd you mate. Gwr corrado 1 Link to post Share on other sites
markandnikki 7 Posted May 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I am now back on the road, thanks to bennyk for some of the bits I needed and a trip to Stevens vw dismantlers in chelmsford for the rest. I have managed to do a few miles and am loving the car, I will post some photos when I work out how to but it is a very unexciting standard vr6 and I intend to keep it that way. I have removed the wife's driving privileges until further notice. daveyboy, Bealieboy, Gwr corrado and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites
