Views on Heritage slam panel June 15, 2021, 09:15:34 PM When I took my slam panel off to make a cutout for the condenser outlet I found it was quite crusty.I was thinking of getting a second hand one then notice VW Heritage have them for a resonance price. I guess the gauge of the metal isn't to original spec. Has anyone got any feedback to share?eBay ad
Re: Views on Heritage slam panel Reply #1 – June 17, 2021, 09:49:05 AM I'm in the same boat, do I refurbish or buy new?The weight says 2.7kgs, I'm sure the original ones are heavier.
Re: Views on Heritage slam panel Reply #2 – June 17, 2021, 04:01:50 PM Could probably contact these and see what theirs weighs https://www.werk34.de/de/frontblech-golf-ii-952100a1.html
Re: Views on Heritage slam panel Reply #3 – June 17, 2021, 10:00:43 PM Thanks.I'll probably keep my eyes peeled on FB marketplace etc for one locally. I'd be wary of the panel being buckled if sent from Europe plus the carriage charge.

Re: Views on Heritage slam panel Reply #5 – June 18, 2021, 02:13:09 PM I suppose the same can be asked for wishbones and subframes. You can buy new for less than it’ll cost to powder coat.

Re: Views on Heritage slam panel Reply #9 – June 22, 2021, 07:34:28 PM Hi Sly, Weymouth is just a few roads away....M1, A42/M42, M5..... I think it probably took 5 hours when we visited a decade ago! Shame really 'cos you've got a towbar too!
