I would never consider fitting a pattern wing to my car, not seen a good one yet!Joe, make sure that the wing that your buying is a genuine VW stamped wing, it should have the VW logo along the top edge, near the 2nd wing bolt closest to the windscreen, if it doesn't have that stamp, then its a pattern panel! in which case you may as well get a new pattern panel for similar money... If your original panel is repairable, and rust free, why not go down that route?thom
