Default scratched a double spoke yesterday

about half the way up a spoke. It is ugly. Any tips how to lessen the uglyness? It is just cosmetic.

Is a right front axle a resonable diy ? I have tools, and worked on cars in the past.

Default Just buy the part of the axle you need.

If you don't have a 2.7t go to the front of the web page and select your model :-)

It shouldn't be a bad DIY. I haven't done it but I ain't scurred either :-)<ul><li><a href="http://genuinevwaudiparts.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getJointLocator&amp;siteid=214407 &amp;chapter=&amp;Sectionids=20,0&amp;groupid=1001 6&amp;subgroupid=60085&amp;componentid=0&amp;make= 2&amp;model=Allroad&amp;year=2002&amp;gra

The question is will they be able to match the original finish.

Default I'll check my extra set and see if there is a clean outer spoke, before I strip all the paint off

them for the experimental refinish.
Where are you?

Default New Hampshire.

I look into a local wheel shop as well. I am sooo pissed. Car is mint and I f'ed it up. Stupid drive through window had a curb infront of it that stuck out way to far.

Default I am at work and will look when I get home. If there is a nice one I'll post a pic >>>

I'll straight swap you.
Shipping shouldn't be too bad for just the outer spoke, as mine are already disassembled.

They'll match it better than the giant scrape that he has now.
