Wing arch repair cost!

(1/2) > >>

AndyED30:
I took my Golf into VW in St.Albans for them to take a look at the flaking paint inside the front off-side arch, it's not rusting but starting to flake off and will only get worse.

They got back to me and said they'd be prepared to go 50/50 on the cost with me.

£360?!?! So the full cost is £720!?!??! For one fecking wing.

As they're admitted liability somewhat and paying half of it is it worth me pushing it further and aiming for them to pay all of it? Has anyone had experience of this?

Cheers, Andy.

You can get a wing and painted to spec delivered on ebay for about a tonne... Fitting doesn't look too hard.  Although if you've got a lighter colour it may require some blending.... Still 720 a wing is :rolleye:

fitting a wing on any VW is pretty simple
everything bolts on because ze germans are genius'

vsgti:
As Scottyman said there is someone selling painted wings on ebay for £110. Changing is quite easy too. Would have done that a year ago but I had both mine replaced, full ed30 kit fitted and painted and local body shop charged me £550 for everything.

AndyED30:
After some whining from me VW eventually got back to me and said they'd do it for free, either re-spray or replace. Thank you very much........... :happy2:
