No, Thanks Chris. Mark didn't have any but I managed to get it from Germany via vwheritage. I'll need to post the part number for others in case they need it.Massbad69 said
Do u still need that bracket ?
Haven't managed to fit it yet though!! Still focusing on offside front. Just about ready to put everything back together.

It's quite hard to see the blended bodykit but the decision is yours 😉
It should be small bumpers and go for that if you want to go back to original ??
Or stay with the clipper kit but the blended kit is a bit different :-)
If you don't need to touch it and its your taste leave it but if as u said u will need to remove it at some point then just decide once its removed :-)

Yeah good to meet you Chris. Thanks for looking at this.
The body kit needs to come off as both sills need repaired. I'll then decide whether to put on small bumpers or a new proper clipper kit. I'm thinking my preference is smaller bumpers just like

Was the closest match to the actual colour after i scrubbed it down - mixed with paint hardener - I'll be too scared to drive it

Both front Springs are away to be sand blasted - They'll then be primed and a top coat of the extreme chassis black satin too. or maybe red. not sure yet.

Wing and Sills sourced from crazyquiffs and Mark at Classic Vw so stroll on the better weather to start all over again!! In the meantime here are some random before and after shots from the end of last summer.
