Post

Back to the top
My 1989 GTI Cabby is going in for a respray and I need to replace a few panels prefer to ask and be guided rather than buy the first panels I come across:

- Scuttle
- Front wings
- Bonnet

Where is best for quality of product please?

Thanks!!!!!!

Front wings and bonnet I'd go for genuine used and do some repairs tbh. I've tried a pattern part wing and it never did fit properly. In the end i used a cut from it to repair my original wing.

I bought a rear panel from heritage, a 'genuine' one and it needed a lot of 'fettling' to fit. About 3 days worth! Apparently they are from South Africa not Germany. the metal is also thinner than the original so be careful and speak to them on the phone and ask some questions.
