I've got my mk2 tucked up for the winter and need to renew a couple of things that are annoying me as they are broken/not up to standard;
Front wiper arms
Kick plate (next to the accelerator) completely smashed when i got her!
Passenger plastic seat trim (piece of black plastic closest to door that covers seat mechanism)
Can i get all these pieces new or will i have to source them, i could respray the wiper arms but would rather get em new if poss (I have done a few searches on the net but not very successful) :sad:
cheers

if you want genuine new parts you may have to get them as old stock from the main dealer.
If your local one doesn't have them, if you ask nicely they might give you a list of other dealerships who have them so you don't have to pay an interdealership transfer cost.
other than that ,secondhand of ebay is your best bet.

Yes, but the kickplate might be obsolete. Wiper arms are £8 ea as I ordered some today!

I could do with some of these. Anyone know if they include the plastic shroud thing that covers the nut at the end? (One of mine is a write-off).

Should do mate as they're all part of the same thing on mine (Yours are backwards though being an earlier car). PM Caddy Vantastic and if he can sort you out I can pick them up this week for you.

Your best bet is to go to ECP or GSF with your list, and they'll tell you whether the parts are available non-genuine or not.

I managed to get a kick plate off ebay for a few pounds and with a bit of a clean it looked good. Although I'm not sure how often intact ones come up.

they seem to come up fairly often and there are always half a dozen mk2 breaking aswell.
