nice dude nice, good for trackday use.... i just want to find a nice set of bbs rx2's and stick em on....but its finding them at the right price!
huh Matt? you have had the sill fixed like that before? for 300? well im hoping for that sill and bumper respary for about 300 i would think........and maybe the door rust bit sorted as well..... insurance approved sprayer, and used them before and got good work done...
generally an body shop that does a lot of insurance work will charge you loads more than a little independant place that does custom work, that is what i found. They charge the insurance companies mega so don't tend to want private jobs worth getting a few quotes with bodywork. My mate got his mk4 fixed the other day, rear arch all crumpled - the guy repaired it, went into 3 other panels to blend it and charged him 200!!! bargain
Spent all day today cleaning it, got the tow bar off! Didn't get the actual big bar off and just cut the electrics off....... put the old bumper back on so got a hole at the mo, but will get that sorted with the new bumper! found some rust on the archy bit under the bumper but it isn't too bad tbh. Got everything clayed and it really looks nice..............come up really well..... Rich
yup both my sills were messy. i had to have rust at the top of the windscreen fixed. it was so bad that when it rained i was getting rain in the roof lining. 300 and they did a tip top job, even i couldnt moan about it
did they cut the bad sill like mine out and reweld ni a new piece of metal? mines got a gapping hole in, so think thats the only job todo on mine really..
mine had a hole. they told me they removed the rusty and material nearby and then filled it with liquid metal then painted it
matt how do you find your tyres? you have parada's don't you?? been looking at some tyre's for the new wheels and I think 888's arn't the best option for me as I think the missus may want to use the car from time to time so need a decent road tyre really, had toyo T1's and I thought they were ****e so looking for something a bit different and always likes the look of them
Right then been to the body shop!!! Here we go... 450 inc vat.. cut sill out and put new patch in where rust is.... two new wing mirror casings painted rear bumper painted bubbling of rust on door sorted under wing mirror (put lead in it apparantly and paint it) not bad i don't think! Rich
ive used them twice on 2 other jobs tbh and the work is top notch! Never had a problem... its actually about 520 inc vat...he says i might need a new foil on the door sill bit (think theres like a plastic bit thats stuck to it) so might have to cost that in to it, and im also going to get 2 new window seals. Il also let him double check under the rear bumper near the arches as theres a bit of rust there so he might grind that off and make it look better.....you can't actually see that though as its under the bumper.....just for my sanity Went to VW and ordered 123 worth of parts too!!!!! got new interior bits for the door handles, all new clips for the trip and grommits.. new set of mats, an oil filter and sump and washer....two new windo mirror backings to be painted too.... two new indicator repeater cases as the clips are bust! all good!!!!
do a search on the chassis board. ive put quite a few posts on there about them very good in the dry, not fantastic in the wet. eagles are better in the wet
Hi =] Do you still have this car by any chance? Just interested as I too have a dusty mauve 3dr with recaros and aircon =]
probably 2 years now, good little motor... got the bbs refurb mk3 anni wheels on now and mk3 anni gear knob! Looks realy pukker!!!!!
