Thanks, M8! On my 2003 Golf GL, they undercoated the rear most bolt on the fender, so you could not see it. Chiseled it off to access the bolt head. There was a ratsnest of debris, sand, dirt & vegetation crammed in the same area leading into the door rocker panel area! I assume that's why they coat that bolt head. No rust though! (JHendy on YT had a Michigan salt damaged car that had rusted out fenders at this corner.) Don't misplace any of the plastic & metal anchor nuts that may remove with the plastic fenderliner. It was easier to put on the new fender. The Golf liner does not need about 20cm of the leading end which is needed on the Jetta. It is shown @ 2:10. Just trim off that end of the new one using the old one as a template with snips, heavy scissors, or a soldering gun blade. Easy enough one hour job at most not including painting. 😊

Especially the wheel well area and the 10mm in. there. Seemed like maybe 4 or so 10mm were under the plastic shroud. My bro is getting a tdi back together and running better to use as a daily its green and junkyard has same tdi same color, ima see to surprise him cuz his fenders are super rusty. I bet it will be cheap to buy them as well.

Quick note if your're looking at changing the wing on a Lupo/Arosa: The process is essentially the same but the rear of the wings curve under the sill. There's two cross-head screws on the bottom sill edge that have been painted over and are a real pain to remove with usual hand tools. There's also one concealed in the door jam behind the mirror.

I have no power at either plug with car on or running. Any idea of what this is caused by? I can't get it inspected till I get it fixed. Thanks!

I've just upgraded my golf with factory xenon headlights and had to remove the upper screw of the fender on the A-pillar to mount the xenon control-unit there, but I can't tighten it up the right way anymore. And now my fender makes some creaking noises sometimes. I think the thread were the screw goes in is worn out. What can I do now? Put in a bigger self-tapping screw? That creaking noise drives me crazy :D haha
