I can see the road!

Postby Keemo » Sat Jan 14, 2017 1:36 pm

Hi guys I've jus pulled up the mat in the front of my mk6 and was greeted with quite a sight! Wandering what's the best thing to do? Is it best to cut it all out and weld a new panel in place? Any help is much appreciated ImageImageImage
