1991 VW Jetta front wing
« on: 25 October 2008, 19:42 »
Just wanted to know if Jetta wings are the same as the golf mk2's. A garage has fitted my front drivers wing and there is a gap between the grill and the panel. The guy i bought the wing off said its was a straight fit also iv been told by other people its the same match.The garage excuse is that the panel is not from a golf mk2.  :angry:

I also explained to the garage that people run single headlight conversion from a mk2 which fits in nice and neat.

if it's a crap pattern you'll get gaps,   also if they didn't try to get it positioned right
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

Jetta and golf wings are the same. Either they have done a sh!te job (which is very possible) or that they haven't bolted it up in the right position, close to the grill.  Pop the bonnet and check the 4 or 5 bolts on the top of the wing, slacken them, push the wing as tight as tight as possible, then retighten. If this doesn't solve it, it was a poor repair.

If you can push it in and then the bonnet doens't shut then its not correctly aligned.
