Hello,
I have just had my car do a 360 and clip the central reservation on a duel carrigeway :sad:. No one was hurt thank god though it did scare the hell out of me.
Theres now a dent on the Passenger side wing from the wheel arch towards the head lights. Does anyone know if these are bolt on items and where i could get one from.
Thanks in advance.

Your car aint silver is it?
I think Euro Car Parts in Wolstanton do wings but dunno about price and paint obviously... could try ebay for 2nd hand ones, but otherwise locally it's a ballache find parts for mk4's, body parts anyway.
-
Yes bolt on :smiley:
Depends weather you want Genuine or a copy wing.
Genune TPS or second hand one from scrap yard or try Simply Vag on here :smiley:
Copy ebay:

The wing is bolt on.
3 bolts in the wing. You will need to remove the wheel arch liner and dig for the bottom bolt that's near the sill. This one can be a pain in the ass as it's normally caked in grime and/or covered in under seal.
Then remove the 10mm bolts on the top and the wing should just slip off
If your car is silver your going to be hard stuck to find a good colour match. There is 4 shades if reflex silver. :sick:

Thanks for the quick replys. Mines dark blue Dave, if your ever around the kidsgrove area then you may see me :smiley:. As long as I can't tell the difference I don't mind getting copy as it must be cheaper. I'm just glad my other half and the kids weren't in the car.

Copy wont fit as well ie door gaps etc :smiley:

Not worth the hastle. A wing from VW is £47 iirc. Then obviously painting.
Look on eBay for a wing in your colour. Is it indigo blue?

+1 though the paint match could be out.
I would sooner get a second hand genuine wing - strip the paint off then get it professionally painted in the correct colour then fit it yourself :smiley:

Strip and paint this:

I've just looked on euro car parts and they are quoting 105 for a original and 43 for a copy...if VW do the original for 47 then il buy that and get it colour matched. I'm not sure of the paint code, dark blue....looks to be the same as richw911's car (but not as shiny :undecided: )

I thought genuines wings were around £100 tbh :smiley:
Yeah as Adam say then Indigo blue LB5N :smiley:
-
Genuine is £83.64 with discount code box20 from ECP :smiley:
-
Thanks again all. I will phone VW and see what they say cost wise for a wing... otherwise il be second hand and get it colour matched. Thanks for the info about copies also as I would have ordered one tomorrow morning not knowing about the fit.
-
Okay I might have got the price wrong.
Find a car with your colour code and around the same year and buff it ad the surrounding pannels and I bet you wouldn't see a difference.

Try TPS its is part of VW but most will sell to the public and they are cheaper :wink:
