GSF parts

[Speedydub]

A few months ago, some dummy in a toyota decided to drive into the front of my golf, smashing the wing, headlight and grille.

Insurance on it is only 3rd part fire + theft, so I repaired it myself.

I got the headlight from GSF in Chelmsford, only because I really needed it.

The grille i bought from Eurocarparts was cheaper than a secondhand one from the scrapyard, and it was delivered in a couple of days, totally hassle free.

So I would probably use Eurocarparts again (going to attempt a service all by myself!)

I can't speak for Euro Car Parts, but GSF copy parts are sh!t. I bought a wing a few years back and it ended up in the bin.

i bought a new grill for my golf and it was to big to fit, i have never used europarts but think i 2 shall give them a go

I also bought a grill for a mk2 gti from GSF a few years back and it didn't fit properly. I managed to get a genuine one from GPC for a good price.

they have sent me the wrong part once ! but they changed it with no cost to me so can't argue. RICH you will lose your 10% but get 100% better products,
they do sell cheaper parts aswell but cant see the point of fitting cheaper parts only to replace them sooner .

I use Eurcarparts, they are ust down the road from me, they are good but on a couple of occasions have given me the wrong bits. overall the quality is good though.

Yep , using these companies too often can be a false economy

Use GPC for bits, cheaper than VW for original parts and no hassle fit everytime.

Pattern parts are a false economy

Pattern parts are sh!t
