EuroCarParts Platinum Plus Wings

[Ruggy]

Anybody got experience of the Platinum Plus body panels from EuroCarParts?
They are insurance and Thatcham approved replacement panels, so I'm guessing the fit and quality should be spot on.

They are currently selling mk5 wings for only £55.  Seems like a bargain.

I can't get my wings repaired under warranty from VW as they have been repaired and painted by somebody previously.  To be honest, they're not that rusty at the moment. Starting to bubble under the paint but hasn't broken through yet.

So thinking of buying a couple of wings from ECP and keeping them in the spare room until they're needed.

£77 from TPS.

Mine are shot, split and the paint has come off practically all round the tops. VW wont do mine under warranty because the 'metal bracket has been moved' under the arch lining that's caused the wing to rust...I know they didn't even move my car for inspection into their workshop up on the ramps which they told me they had. I left the car in the most random state with wipers on full, , steering lock on with  quarter turn to the left, seat right back and reclined in gangster mode, heaters on full and in 5th gear with 1 click on the handbrake. They still told me it has been for an inspection. Lying c***s! Then VW UK told me they can't do it because of the bracket been moved.

But anyways, I got mine from TPS for peace of mind that they are going to fit.

As far as I'm aware, they are the same wings that TPS supply.

A little tidbit of info I picked up from the Corrado forum regarding EuroCarParts part numbers:

If the part no. ends in a 1 = sh*t/Chinese quality.
If the part no. ends in 0 = OEM quality.
If the part no. ends in 5 = genuine part.
