Post by: Hedfree on 08 December 2004, 23:28

Gutted,

ive just been getting my golf out of the garage, reversed it out, and there is a little lip, sticks up about 2",? as the wheels went over it, the front end ducked down, caught the 16v lip the front and snapped the G60 arch clean off!? :cry:

its beyound? repair, its in 2 peices, i was going about 1/2mph, must have been the angle i was at, im really gutted, only had the car 3days? :angry:

All G60 arches are the same. But your best getting genuine ones from VW, They fit best. Shouldnt cost too much mate. Try your local GSF

Hope that helps  :wink:

Did exactly the same on the previous mk2 I had when going over a speedbump! Genuine kit is best :)
