    I need a new lip on mine, the old one has been destroyed during a previous life. Also need new front fender liners as both sides are shot, can these be bought locally as well? ECS have them cheap as hell but frieght is stupid due to the size of them.

    As both Dylan8 and Djorkboy know, I've been chasing one for a while...

    No one wrecks late model VW's in Canberra... (With late model being anything watercooled)

    FYI:
    1 - 1J5 805 903 B B41 (Standard) - $130
    2 - 1J5 805 903 D B41 (4 Motion/Diesel) - $130
    3 - 1J5 805 901 A B41 (4 Motion - Spoiler Version) - $210

    Volkspower quoted me a part number for the 4mo one as 1J5 805 903 BB41 which now doesn't look right

    I have sent back to them and given the part number as above, but I'll bet the price is going to go up considerably.

    ...that is if they bother to reply, so far my dealings with them have been friendly and helpful but as soon as I ask a question that is hard to answer they just stop responding.

    In the first quote they said $30 for postage to Sydney

    I got a response from them regarding the part number and they say they got the part number by entering my VIN so it should definitely be correct, but I'm still not convinced.

    No 4motions, even early ones came with the standard 4/5 cylinder lip did they?

    In aus i thought 4mo had one like my new one pictured... some being painted, some unpainted
    4 and 5 cyl had ones like my old one. with the exception to some sports/oettinger models

    When i go over to the shed later I will try to find the part number for you. mine was direct from VW AUS so it should be fine

    I think I'm going to give Volkspower a miss and just pay the full price from the dealer. When I gave the dealer my VIN he came back with the correct part number, either the guy at Volkspower is lying to me about entering my VIN or his system is screwed up.

    I'm kind of sick of the run around Volkspower give me too. It has taken 2 months to get to this point with them because they often just don't respond until I follow up. They are an Oettinger dealer but when I asked them for help with lugs and rings for my Oettinger wheels they not only had no idea about the specs for products they are an official dealer for they just stopped responding when I asked them to check and confirm that the specs I had were correct. Not very professional in my opinion.

    my local Vdub dealership, Coralon.
    Interesting about the oettinger gear mate. I found them helpful but they said a lot of parts were hard to get (and that was 3-4years ago...)
