My golf got beaten up by a ZS
« on: 08 December 2009, 17:41 »
My mate drove into the side of my car last night, unintentionally, and im now left with this (see pics).
The alloy got scuffed, the wing is mashed, and the door doesnt open properly because of the wing.
I have since taken the wing off today and its only cosmetic really.
But the main problem is the door, how the hell do I get it fixed.
Ive tried ebay, local breakers, VW dismantler etc, all dont have a matching part for my car.
The wing needs replacing anyway as it took most of the force, the door hasnt got paint damage, its just bent out.
Anyone had similar problems or had to get this done?
Im ok about it but the most annoying thing is the door not opening properly!

Isn't this what insurance is for? Your mate should offer to put it through - after all it was his fault!!  :laugh: :laugh:
