2000 Bora radiator
My mate has a 2000 Bora and the plastic tank is cracked on the radiator
First questions - has anyone had dealings with Nationwide radiators??
VW Service shop - $450
Trade through a friend - $400
New aftermarket - $350
Nation Wide - $287
I am encouraging him to go the $400 - but it isnt my money
2nd Question
How hard is it to change over??
Have heard you need to pull the front off??
Is it just panels or is it suspension??
My mates Elise - dont even go there
Need to pull the bloody car to pieces to get the the radiator
Hoping it is easier than that
Futue te ipsum!!!

I would not be surprised if the nationwide one was OEM
(identical to the factory)
It is along standing tradition to pay over the top in australia for genuine vw
dont forget car makers dont make all the parts for their cars themselves they just design them and put the car together
