ok then, well if anyone else knows about these fittings please let me know!!!
i have seen a polo same as mine in the same colour however a 5-door in derby, so if my dad can take me down tomorow i might hopefully be able to get that wing mirror and then maybe even these panels and door if they fit!!!

yeh, like im 18, and will have been driving a year in april.
so thats why i am tryign to not go through insurance and stick to scrappies and ebay,etc
like mainly i need the wing mirror and door sorting
i will just have to live with the dints on the wings for a bit until i have money. like i just finished repairing my car from the last accident like 2-3weeks ago and then this goes and happens, typical!!!!!!!!

well the other one i had to replace alloys and get exhuast basically re-done, but yeah that was pretty much sorted apart from slight paint damage, but very slight
this one will be alot more expensive job i think, if it does come to actaully having to replace the panels and get them sprayed
like i went into a VW dealers just for a quote for a wing mirror and inc. paint and fitting it was £234. the mirror alone was £134, and like £60 fitting and £60 painting approx
and that was a quote just for the wing mirror, so even if i do manage things a bit cheaper it will still be expensive!

im sure you could pic up a cheapish wing mirror from a scrapyard or ebay etc cheap, and then spray and fit yourself

Those prices for the wing mirror are abosolutely extortionate (sp)!
You can get a stubby mirror from eBay.de £35 delivered, and I had mine painted by a garage close to me for £16.
