that is offcourse true, and I would pay max of 300 for maybe both wings if I'm pushed.. but for 1 wing.. no thanks, I would grab a pattern part and my dolly :grin:

I got into vw's becuase it was fun whilst still being cheap.. now I feel like it would be cheaper for me to buy a used SL500 merc, drive it daily and have it service at mercedes :laugh:

But yeah, quality is king, in the future there will be 2 types of dubs.... Shonky pattern mobiles, and my amazing golf.....eventually.

And because of this and the lack of a availability it will only get worse. Im stocking up whenever I can, just bagged a pair of old stock genuine mk1 wings today for a very fair price. :lipsrsealed:

Post by: jmsheahan on 18 November 2011, 17:28: You could probably pick up a whole Scirocco for that :shocked:

Agreed, i always pay out for the more expensive stuff as i know it's the proper thing and best for the car. 90% also last much longer than knock off copies
