Title: Please help an elderly gentleman! Mk3 1997 Golf. Front wing & front door removal
Post by: davemulheran on 15 August 2009, 19:46

Hi all

My Grandad was involved in a car accident this morning  :sad:  (he is ok thank god )

But the car is not. Its a Mk 3 Golf 1997. and needs a new drivers front wing and a new drivers door

I have a few questions please if you wouldnt mind helping me out? as i will be fixing it for him this week.

• how much are genuine mk3 doors and front wings from VW? is it worth just getting a patent wing do you think? (£19)
• can anyone recommend places to buy these? (or if anyone has a metallic green of either, ill gladly buy from you)
• The wing looks easy to remove. However, can anyone please help describe the best way to remove the door and replace? or point me towards a good guide?
• I will have to get them painted also. What is the average price to spray a wing and a door? any reccomendations on reasonable places in north kent?

thanks in advance for any help.. it is MUCH appreciated


cheers

Dave
