Mk2 Rear Wheel Arch Repair Sections?
Posted: Mon May 14, 2012 4:29 pm
Hi guys.
My Mk2 Storm is looking and feeling a bit old now. I was thinking of selling, but can't face doing that it seems.
One of the things I want to sort first are the rear outer wheel arches (the metal bits), they feel very fragile under the bodykit arch trims, and so it looks like is time to replace them.
Got a copy of the VW EPC on my PC, but wheel arch sections are not shown separately, just full rear quarters.
I've been reading older posts, and saw mention of repair kits possibly being available from ATP Autoteile in Germany. I found their website, but Google can't translate it. I couldn't guess my way round the site in German, so I've emailed them in the hope someone there can read English well enough to answer my questions.
Has anyone managed to get hold of these replacement arches, from there or anywhere else? I see VW Heritage only offer Mk1 replacement arches. Can't find websites for Veng and Pop-On etc to see if they do them.
Then I have to decide on how much of a job to make of it - quick repair or better job.
Any answers/advice would be appreciated.
Apologies if this has already been covered extensively, but I didn't find it when searching the forum.
Cheers.
