So I need to buy a couple of front floor repair panels for a mk2 Golf. Does anyone have any recommendations of where to get some that will fit without a whole lot of fettling? Any makes to stay away from? I can get the ones I need from classic VW but I’m not sure if they are any good. Thanks in advance guys.

They do them, but are they a good fit?

They do them, but are they a good fit? If it’s VW Heritage then one would hope it’s the original tooling being used so they should fit the best of all? |

Some of the parts on the heritage site are aftermarket, like I got some Goodridge fuel pipes from Heritage as the originals are no longer made. The panels are listed as different manufacturers some are SSP some are genuine VW if you buy say a whole floor section. The ones I’m looking at are made by Klokkerholm. Are these good? Or should I just assume they are good as Heritage will have checked the fit?
Thanks

From the repair panels I've bought for my own Mk2, the Klokkerholm ones were the closest repro fit. I've not had the floor sections but the rear panel and sills didn't take too much fettling although weren't perfect.
SSP were a bit curse word from experience in my Beetle days.
Obviously genuine is the best if you can get it (cuts from a breaker etc if necessary).
Is it round the front jacking stump it's gone?

Yeah that’s the only bit of rot in the car that I’ve found so far. Idea was front floor repair sections cut out rotten bit back to good metal then weld in new bit then new jacking stump. Don’t think I need to replace the whole panel as it’s a lot more work.
