Title: Front wing help
Post by: gtipirelli on February 19, 2015, 11:31:44 am

Can anyone recommend a decent Indi in the Leicester or Northampton area who is able to supply and fit a new front wing more reasonably than a main dealer. Just about to call a dealer for a quote. Looks like I will also need the plastic inner arch replaced also

Had a little prang and got a fairly high insurance excess so just looking at options

Thanks

A new genuine wing will be £140 (when I inquired a couple of weeks ago) from TPS, you might be best off sourcing the wing yourself and then getting it sprayed rather than ask VW as they'll charge you stupid money.

You should be able to get an arch liner from TPS as well but personally for that I'd try a breaker's yard first.

Breakers yard is the best bet mate, might even be lucky enough to source one in your colour which means you can buy/fit it all now then re-spray it a while later to spread cost.

why source a used wing which will prob have rust in the usual place anyway

euro do a very good platinum range of wings which will fit well
