Title: Are Golf and Jetta front wings the same?
Post by: Dave7692 on February 10, 2015, 11:10:51 am

My front wing is rusty so I've been keeping an eye out for a colour matched front wing, there is a Jetta in my colour available for breaking and I know that the Jetta bumper fits on a Golf so I was wondering if the wing is the same as well.

I know its unlikely but its worth an ask.

Why not try and get a free one done at VW on the anti corrosion warranty

Unfortunately the previous owner must have been unaware of the warranty and decided to stump up to have the wing resprayed at their own cost, meaning that once the problem has resurfaced under my ownership VW won't do anything about it as its not their paint. 

So I'm now trying to source either a good condition 2nd hand wing (which are proving to be like rocking horse droppings due to the rust issue) or I will end up buying a brand new wing from TPS (only £140 so not the end of the world) and having it sprayed to match the car.

jetta and golf wings are different, jetta wings have a line through them.

Cheers for the reply, I assumed as much but it was worth an ask I guess.
