Completely agree, I've bought 2 mk5's with rotten wings! My current one has had them repaired before and it's come back  :surprised:  I'm guessing they left the foam inside still.

I've noticed both my wings have rust left side more than right and the chap at VW said it's not worth repairing and it will come back and I for one know this so when money is spare I'll be buying two copy wings and getting them painted and fit them myself   :smiley:
