Where can i buy panels and does anyone manufacture a battery tray?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I've had my beloved Corrado VR6 for around two years now and for the first time I've had to change my battery.... to my utter horror I discovered that the battery tray is as rotten as a pear!

Does anyone manufacture a panel for this area? Also, in general where is good for buying panels? I want to replace a wing as the indicator hole is crusty and also one of the sills has a small hole and because I'm anal I'd like to replace the entire sill... I am a welder so I'm allowed to be anal about welding!

Just struggling to find anywhere that sells panels... help!

hello m8

 

check here http://shop.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/vwcp/scirocco-corrado/corrado/ for the panels

 

if you want to order the best route is to do so through VW Heritage, annavr6 is a user on here who works there & you can PM her for help.

 

my ordering from Heritage you will save on the german classic parts horrendous shipping charges.

 

it does take approx. 3 weeks for the parts to arrive but it is a big saving

 

I have recently brought & used the sill repair panel to do the passenger side on my VR

 

FYI left outer sill is part number 535809847 ;)

 

not sure if ive seen a battery tray section though

 

hope that helps

An awful lot of them simply aren't available any more, however for the sill's etc you can still get them from VW classic parts. Comes in three pieces, if I remember correctly - there's the whole A pillar section, the mid sill part, and the rear quarter panel.

 

Actually, I've got the links saved in my favourites!

 

Here's the battery tray: http://shop.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/vwcp/console-535803093.html

 

A pillar section: http://shop.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/vwcp/scirocco-corrado/corrado/body/exterior/sub-part-535809840a.html

centre sill section: http://shop.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/vwcp/scirocco-corrado/corrado/body/exterior/sub-part-535809848.html

rear quarter (the expensive bit!) http://shop.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/vwcp/scirocco-corrado/corrado/body/exterior/sub-part-535809844a.html

 

 

Hope that helps,

Dave

One of the benefits of having 'proper' ETKA and not relying on partscats.info is you can do a brand wide search from a part number to see exactly what the hell some bits are. ;)

handy :)

 

does your proper ETKA also include 3rd party manufacturer parts & part numbers? EG for what I believe was a factory option body kit?

There's no body kits listed on ETKA at all :(

 

oh I see ok - thanks for the reply

 

fortunately I managed to find the holy grail front spoiler I was hunting (thanks to goldie on here who is a cracking guy & even altered his route to meet me with it) but im still curious if there is a new one out there hiding in storage somewhere

 

I had emailed Kamei in Germany but still no response

 

I wonder if wheeler dealer's Ed would lend me his plastic repair kit to repair the one I have off goldie lol

Gents, put simply, " I salute You both..."

 

 

:notworthy: :notworthy:

what fabulously helpful & incisive contributions you've both made this afternoon on this Thread, to help the OP afterlife's equally cracking question...

 

... as I've benefited too from your collective, selflessly educational contributions, Ta x2 [nay, x3]
:salute:

 

and clearly Goldie's played a blinder too [now x4 !!]
:salute:

 

 

:cheers:
Gents all round, and

I should think I could just get away with the front section of the sill if it comes in three parts anyway that sort of defeats the object of me being anal as I wanted to replace it all so it's perfect but even if I do replace it all it needs welds joining the sections anyway so its a waste of time.

I don't suppose anyone knows how far along the sill the front section protrudes? The hole is right at the front but just about 1" away from the bottom of the arch.

Also regards the battery tray, whats that elongated bit all about?
