Are you sure that was me ? :huh: but there again I may have been having a senior moment  :undecided:  :grin:

But a good idea, if we got a list of recomended body work repairers etc.. the only think with chips away is if you get the right man they are great but others are just cr@p and you can't always gurantee which one you get

Can I ask about the TT wishbone bushes here? My garage says they wont fit my car as the early mk4s had different angles in the suspension but it seems a bit weird to me.

told you before, crap  :wink:

All mk4 wishbones are the same, TT bushes will fit as I had my mate at work press them in and I fitted the wishbones myself
