Can't quite read your post..think I left my glasses at home..

No need to shout, we can hear you just fine!

Please edit that to make it more readable and people may be able to help you.

Ta.

If you've managed to destroy the subframe, I'd be inclined to get the shell checked for straightness.

There is company called...Volkswagen is it? I think they do spares...

or these people called insurers will get some people to buy the bits and fit them for you :?

Guys...

DON'T GIVE OUT DUFF ADVICE. IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER THEN DON'T ANSWER - SIMPLE!!!

The guy is only after a little help, so if you don't have anything useful to say please don't say anything!

GSF may stock some of the parts you require although Tav is right in the fact that VW maybe best for OEM parts which may fit better.

Do get the shell checked 1st though as theres no point fixing a car thats twisted!

wheel hub, wheel bearing, housing, sump and alloys all avail from vag but will be hella expensive, deffo get your car checked out for structural integrity, might need to be put on a jig to be straightend out...

what speed were you doing and what did you hit?

got pics of the damage?

id be inclined to find your local salvage yard.

where are you based?

2nd hand genuine parts are far better than brand new pattern parts imho

I don't think BBS do split 13's...may be wrong...more likely to be a 15" alloy if it is a BBS. You could always go to a breakers and get all the parts you wanted. If you are replacing things like wishbones then I'd replace the bushes etc. on both sides of the car. I still stand by Volkswagen as being a good choice for getting spare parts.
