New Rear Tailgate On Gti?

Recommended Posts

Craig01

I had a new tailgate fitted to my GTI a few years ago, I was never happy with the work done to it, the paintwork was very poor with drips/sanding marks and it's now rusting. Really lets what is otherwise a mint car down.

 

I'm now ready to sort it and I assume it might actually be easier to just obtain another tailgate rather than trying to sort the one I've got. Does anywhere sell them 'new' anymore? Or is it a case of find a good salvage one?

 

Cheers!

I've just had my tailgate replaced after a accident and there was no tailgates available, they are nfp and non listed on a international search. I used a good straight second hand item in the end

Ah is there an online way to check what dealers have stock? I'm based in Worcester but my 205 is stored in Banbury.

depends how friendly the dealers are and whether the stock has already been snaffled by profiteers.

Like you could make a profit on a tailgate Mei, retail was £520 but make them an offer.
