Post by: Bandit127 on 05 May 2014, 18:05: Hi and welcome to Golf ownership :smiley:

If you have ever owned an Audi/BMW/Mercedes you will be rightly dismissive of dealer prices. However, your local VW dealer can be surprisingly cost effective for parts. Especially body parts as you know these will fit. Also service consumables.

Don't discount the scrappy either. The Mk3 is starting to get rare but there should still be a good choice of parts to be had if you are handy with a spanner.

Lastly ebay. I have done OK with the bits I have bought but there is a risk...

Enjoy your Mk3. I did enjoy mine a lot.

Post by: boneybradley on 05 May 2014, 20:12: I run a company that specialises in mk3 parts www.oemandmore.co.uk (http://www.oemandmore.co.uk)

If you have anything specific you need, just let me know as only a small % is on my website, regarding trims they are all available genuine or after market but there is a significant price difference! Is your car a 3 or 5 door? (I will confirm a price once known)

It is 2 half's and currently unobtainable!! (VW ran out of stock 2-3 years ago so tps say! and no one as yet makes them!!). I will get the prices for the arch and trims and post back (possibly tomorrow as I need to check vw's stock and speak to my German supplier as there listings are a bit unclear!)

Post by: boneybradley on 06 May 2014, 15:06: I've had a look and non genuine arches and rub strips (full set 63mm width) would be £170 (4 arches with short trims, 2 door strips and 2 rear qtr strips and all mounting parts). These would come from Germany and take approx 5-10 days.

Genuine are available but they are just under £330 for the same parts (and would need specially ordering from Germany and can take 3-4 weeks!)

Not cheap and finding them was good fun!
