PM 'caddyvantastic' on here as he's VW parts manager in Reading. I don't care how much they are, as I need some and am ordering them today!

You take a risk with 'pattern' parts of the wing not lining up properly.  You can get a straight non rusty genuine VW wing from a scrappy for £15.

if you watch what you are doing and buy a 2nd hand wing of a mk2 without a wheel arch trim you should not have any problems with rust there are plenty of good ones in scrapyards i got one and it was perfect not all mk 2's  in scrapyards are rot boxes

All pattern wings are crap, and are made of cheese! genuine vw panels are in a different league, Panel fit on my 16v is perfect, no fileing holes, no nasty edges, and wont rust for many years! cheap at £75ish+vat http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f90/thom62/golf020.jpg
