Wheres The Best Place To Try

Recommended Posts

sss_205GTI

Hi guys, im kinda stuck, as i need a new (2nd hand) wing for my gti, but prob im facing is, nobody wants to take one off once they relise they are glued on, and scrappys are heavy handed bastards and they just bend em out of shape!

The whole car is mint (i.e no rust) other than this one wing, and its started to spread, as it does, to the bottom of the door and id really like to keep the rust free sills just that, rust free!

 

I dont really trust the ebay ones as i can see them not fitting well!

 

Is there some safe 205 haven that specialises in used body panels?

 

Or equally if someone has an OSF cherry red (dont care about fade) wing, let me know ;)

 

Thanks Laura

 

bloody typical, just got one the saturday boys to give it a quick wash, and i should have remembered hes going to be in charge of a commerically high powerd jet wash.... :) now it looks like my 205 has grazed its cheek as theres this huge scab of rust jumping out at me! :D

Dont know if you have bought one yet but.......

 

I bought a bonnet from here and it was great. - Good service and well packed.

 

GTI Wing

 

I cant see a hole for the side repeater though, may be best to email/call first.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers

John.

Ive just bought a seconhand, but unfitted wing which fits like a square peg in a round hole. Has anyone actually fitted a pattern panel and had a good fit, and if so, where did you get it from?

 

Im seriously considering giving Mr Peugeot a visit now.

Just gave em a ring - It doesnt come with a hole for the repeater - you have to cut that out - not too sure about the moulding holes either - its abit of a crappy picture he says.

£22.50+vat

 

Like platty says - anyone ever fitted one from them?

£16.22+ VAT from euro car parts, and they fit well the last one i got had the hole for indicator and the holes for the GTI Clips, and they fitted about as good as your gonna get non genuine,

Whos that i guy in bury? i can get genuine parts at cost to but havent priced up a wing yet, but the europarts ones are plenty good enough, i no the older wings didnt have the hole in the wing as they didnt need repeaters, but the last one i got came with it in :D

Fair dos, i dont think i gave him a year - so prolly explain why he said no repeater hole, if the older ones didnt ave em.

Just gotta sort out fitting & painting.

Been quoted 3.1 hrs labour to paint

1.7 hrs labour to take old wing off (i presume) n put new one on

£75 for paint & materials

SO total of £208 cash

 

Didnt really wanna spend that much :D
