Title: ed 30 rear valence
Post by: sunnylunn on 21 April 2008, 13:13: my car has now been in the repair shop for 4 weeks awaiting the lower rear valence or spoiler, i've just been told that it is still on back-order and isn't even due into the country untill the 9th may :angry: any one have any bright ideas where i might be able to get one from, as i'm having to drive around in a vectra :embarassed: don't know how much longer i'll be able to stand the shame! 6 weeks for a bumper is taking the piss. HELP

Post by: sunnylunn on 21 April 2008, 16:36: wish that was the case, they told me they have to order them through vw and if they arn't in stock they arn't in stock :angry: anyone got any other ideas, the thought of having to be without bluefin power for another 2-3 weeks isn't funny. by the way, don't ever ever buy a vectra :sick:

thats shocking mate, I know how you feel, I lost mine for a week when some idiot reversed into it in a carpark, needed a new wheel arch panel, but easy to get hold of obviously... waiting for that length of time must be awful, hope you get it back soon. :smiley:

Post by: Hurdy on 22 April 2008, 00:02: How about having the standard GTI rear valance fitted until an ED30 one arrives? They are only about Ã‚£35 and would be better than a Vectra. You could always sell it on after the ED30 valance gets fitted :wink:
