Frequently Asked Questions

WORKSHOP & FITMENT FAQS

Common questions about our modern Beetle Mk3 workshop capabilities, donor panel sourcing, and arrangements.

Can you fit parts purchased from your yard?↓

Yes. We offer workshop supply-and-fit services at our Wigan facility by appointment for mechanical assemblies, steering, suspension, interior trims, and electric roof mechanisms.

How does the Mk3 Cabriolet electric roof work?↓

The modern VW Beetle Mk3 Cabriolet uses a 100% electro-mechanical dual motor system with linkages and microswitches — it is never hydraulic. We diagnose motor faults, replace damaged linkages, and reset timing sensors.

Do you provide paint-matching for replacement panels?↓

We stock original factory-finished body panels matched by official VAG paint codes (Pure White LC9A, Tornado Red LY3D, Platinum Grey LD7X, etc.) to help you avoid respray fees whenever possible.
