gotta hole!!!

Hi all i gotta hole & a missing tow hook on the front of my gti cab christmas edition all white (better to weld in new hook & tidy up around the dodgy hole or replace complete front panel?any advice grateful,cheers Paddy

Weld the hole up , forget the tow hook VW's are so reliable you wont need it  

Why replace the whole panel for one hole ? I would do with out the tow hook [its what AA membership is for] and repair the hole , unless the panel is so bad that replacement is the only option .


Cheers………..

If the cars restored well u wont need the tow bar……

Ive weld it up and smooth it off

famous last words, lol

my prev mk1 had had it chopped off….


and then obviously had borken down and the owner had had to rope under panel and through vent hole, bending up the front panel  :roll:  :cry:.

A right hassle straightening it up.

If you want it flsuh buy a screw in tow eye from a modern car (omp do one as well), then you only need to weld ina  threaded section, like some nuts, and you only need a small hole visible  :mrgreen:

You told me you hit a dog  

I did, but that was a few months after I repaired the front panel  :roll:    :dontknow: (hence why It went Matt Black in the first place  8) )

Well she'll be treated to a lovely new panel soon  8) when I get the time to fit it.
