Guys I am new to this forum and the R53, but I just purchased a 04' R53 salvage for use as my daily driver... My 96 golf is getting way up there in miles and it was time for an upgrade... The car I bought is an 04 with 40k miles on her... Its in need of the front panel, ac condensor, bumper carrier, rad and rad fan assy... Any ideas on where would be a good place to start?
I wanted to go with OEM parts but dont wanna spend dealer bucks...I will settle for used ones...

Thanks for the help

Call Chad over at Detroit Tuned, he may have some of these parts on hand or know of a good local source.

 

Funny thing is I just did that before reading this post... He may turn to be a helpful source... Thanks!
