« on: 07 August 2009, 21:40 »
Where would you guys say was the best place to get some front wings from, are the pattern part ones any good?

Don't expect a perfect fit - but with a bit of wrangling you should be able to get the shut lines lined up.

Fit genuine! they will last 20 years, pattern will last 20 months and not fit properly!
genuine wings are around £80 each with the VAT If your going to do it, do it right!
Check out my shut lines on my sig below  :wink:

Thom - I've had a pattern wing on for 5 years now with no bother and fits just fine - for the £10 it cost, I know which I'd pick if it came to replacement again.

VW only have 2 of one side and 8 of the other left i think is what he said at the dealers, may have a look at GPC.

If you don't mind travelling to OX27 to pick them up, I have two brand new unused mk2 'patterned' wings in my garage from 'Beevers'. I decided to repair the old wings rather than replace them. £15 each if your interested?
