Hard to find a used B6 fender?

**DELUX** · 06-21-2008 11:51 AM

So after I had my front repainted last year to fix up some hit & run damage, the car was in good shape until Tuesday when it was hit while I was parked outside a friend's apartment for 10 minutes...

Damage isn't bad but I could use a new driver's side fender. Seeing that B6 has been around for 8 years now, how hard is it to find a used fender that I can have repainted and installed?

Any idea how much a fender runs? My front bumper has only scrapes and I plan on repainting it (yet again) next year. For now I wanna get the fender replaced because it's an eye sore :(

Ebay.
I also got hit a while ago, and the shop just fixed the fender.

Thanks Greg.

Good to know

When I re-do everything, I might replace my top piece of the USP bumper. I had my holes from my license plate filled and as anybody knows, that never lasts long. I'll let you know if I need any USP parts.

Get wide fenders :)))

there are no OEM wide fenders for the B6. I'm not gonna pay for CF fenders, not worth the money. My ET32 front and ET25 rear offsets will give enough of a wide stance feel anyways

Unless the upper bumper is damaged, no need to replace it...

You can fill the holes with duramix and it will last forever.

I had the holes filled by a very reputable shop and after 1 winter of -20 degree weather and now a summer of 100, the paint has cracked in that area. Also slight depressions have formed where the holes were.
