Genuine or aftermarket body parts?
« on: 07 July 2006, 20:15 »
I have just removed my plastic wheel arch trims to reveal interesting amounts of rust on both front and rear wings.
 
What i am wandering is this, has anyone fitted replacement aftermarket body parts and got a good fit out of them only there is one hell of a difference in price.

I probably will have the thing resprayed after fitting all the new body parts but am interested in getting a good fit.

Any body parts that anyone has spare, i would be interested in buying them if they are mint with no rust or dents, i am in cheshire.

The car is a jade metallic 3dr gti 16v.

Thanks in advance for any help or info.

i've never had a problem fitting pattern parts... could depend on the supplier though i suppose.
