The rust on the wings has got worse over winter too despite coating them in loads of wax. :sad1: May have to get them sprayed soon!

Go to VW and say its a common fault on the mk5 and they all are rusting & get them replaced for free! That's what i did with no questions asked. Saves you spending money you may not have to! :happy2:

When did you do this? I thought they were only covered for 10 years so mines out of date now! Happy days if they will do it however!

I had got mine done last year! Said to me they were doing them as so many have had the problem and its well documented that they have!
May as well try your luck, whats the worst that can happen? :grin: Hopefully save you some money! Just say you know many have got replaced and its the foam on the inside of the wing that rusts them. :happy2:

Progress:
However as I've got a shorter front plate I need to do something about the grill as I'm not running the plinth.
Took a drive up to my local body shop but they wanted £100-200 to fill the holes in the grill and respray it.
Anyone tried one of the eBay grills? Or know how much VW charge for a us spec (with no holes)?
Or of a body shop in Essex that will do it for £50?!
Cheers, Matt.
