Does anyone know just which panels are made from aluminium and which are plastic?

My current courtesy A2, a 1.4 petrol Sport, has just come from the bodyshop, where the repairs cost just under Ģ7000 according to my dealer. Talk about filling you with confidence!

PS The cause of the repairs was apparently only a minor rear end shunt - gulp!

From my own (and other forum members) experience I know that bdaywork on an A2 ist always expensive.... I just canīt figure out why.

The front wings are definetly made of plastic, not only on the 1.2TDI, as I thought....

I know, not much info, but I hope it helps anyway...:-)

Skipton i thought the doors are from plastic but they are from aluminium but ask Stuart D he should know all about the car. ;)

Ps- If you touch your car with your hand you can hear which parts are from plastic and from alu.

tcasaca is right-touch the panel and if you get a static electric shock, that'll be the alu panel!!!!
