Re: [T3] new fenders

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

Polyester is the 'plastic' resin used to make glass-fibre reinforced
plastic (GRP), so I guess the range is not metal.  They sound
expensive compared with the excellent Day Mouldings GRP front wings
(fenders) available in the UK for many years (£50 or $80), but these
are the later ones (he used to do early ones too, but a long time
ago).

1850FF for steel rear wings (fenders) ?  That's expensive, but VW
parts prices in France are twice that in the UK, for some odd
reason, which in turn are twice those in the 'States!

Dave.
