I am in exactly the same situation but have just found a new genuine set [ see my last post in this section ]. I intend to paint them on the car so as to cover all the new bolt heads and sealant that i will use when i replace them , i will of course prime and seal the inner part of the wing before i fit them to provide good rust prevention . From experience genuine wings are far better than the ?30.00 GSF ones just depends what you can afford .
As for fitting your "new wings" should fit like the old ones ! might seem daft but by that i mean even gaps all round and the door and bonnet lines nice and straight , only fully tighten all the fixing bolts when you are happy with the fit and weeks before you remove the old wings give the fixing bolts a good soak in WD40 a few times to aid removal
Cheers Chudd….

Assume that the genuine wings are no longer available from VW, so best bet is to get looking for a decent second hand pair to respray - keeping eyes open for a concours GTI that has been shunted heavily from behind :wink:

If so I am sure Rich (crazyquiff) would be able to source those for those wnating the original VW panel fit.
