Wing damage? Any ideals?
« on: July 23, 2014, 09:07:53 pm »
Spotted this the other day



Any ideals? I havent heard any tyres rubbing and no damage to tyres, possibly in need of a front upper strut brace with the r888?

Has anyone trying lifting the car by the wings? Like when you try and get a low car on a jack?

Is it deformed metal or telltale signs of paint lifting due to wing corrosion, started showing there first on mine.

I would agree with the corrosion comment above, mine started like that too, just had both wings replaced under warranty by my local VW dealership who also sorted some corrosion issues on the tailgate and also on the drivers side sill, all f.o.c  :happy2:

Looks the same on mine, but that was where the wheel caught it turning at speed. Cars too low  :confused:

Personally I'd say the only reasonable course of action is 2 new Carbon Fibre wings haha
