Only 1 lower N/S wheel arch left from VW

If your planning on changing your rotten lower N/S wheel arch and would like one that's not rippled and made of tin foil then be quick.

I ordered one today from VW and was told only 2 remain in the country. I'm not sure if they will then go on back order or joint the growing band of obselete items

251-809-155 number one on picture below £60 + vat

If your after the small lower rear corner panels to go with the arch then thats 251-813-357 £13+vat

The O/S corner panel is sadly obselete

Also ordered a genuine sliding door outer repair skin for my early sliding door from VW which has gone on back order from germany 251-843-107 £27+vat

Thermostat housing top bit (plastic moulded) for late cooling 1.9 DG almost obsolete - there were only 2 when I had one on Monday.

Yep we've been having problems getting bits for the repairs on ours. The lower front panel is now obsolete, couldn't get one from anywhere. So have had to go for second hand.

Schofields list the other side on their site but I'm not sure of the quality. Strange though how they don't list the N/S arch.

Maybe the arch will then go on back order from Germany like the sliding door outer lower repair skin, but I wouldn't count on it

The stock in this country means nothing, we are a tiny dot in a big world.

Yes but back order is no fun!

Yeah i spoke to schofields about it and they say they didnt have a n/s ones as he didnt think they were pressing them at the moment, i had n/s panels from Movac, GSF and another place and sent them al back as none of them had the folded bit to attach it to the inner wing.
