My Son-in-Law has a 2014/5 Skoda Superb estate 2.0 diesel (Laurin & Klement) which has recently been 'modified' (understatement) by my daughter while driving on her TPO insurance!  I've noted part numbers as I've removed parts needing replacement but have a problem with the os/f wing support which is badly deformed, the section is spot welded into/onto the shell, I'm trying to find a supplier for a repair section, with no success so far.  the alternative will be to cut out a section from a donor at the breakers & weld it in,  perhaps someone may know of a supplier?

The panel will be available from TPS.

 

Looks like you need to make friends there as you will be needing a lot.

Thanks for the swift response, I'm not familiar with TPS but you're right, I will need a lot of parts, I've been pretty methodical cataloguing part numbers where possible & separating the re-usable from the unrecognizable.  I've found a supposedly complete front end of the correct year about 70 miles away (& thankfully have a big Luton van to transport it with) but the breaker isn't the best communicator (can't tell me if it's got parking sensors or headlamp washers) but I will persist!

Have a gander at the online catalog, might take a bit of getting used to, the part might be in the "body" section

Thanks for your response, I've just been checking-out TPS too.  The big parts are pretty easy to identify & I can check compatibility with my 'actual' part numbers.  It's the myriad tiny bits & pieces that the parts catalogue will assist with.

TPS can be shirty dealing with the public, not every branch, but ymmv as they say.

Best of luck, post back if you get stuck in finding small parts, someone might be able to assist.

I don't have first hand experience of buying these parts for a Superb but it's worth checking with the local Skoda dealer parts department as the wing support is probably available new and may not be as expensive as you'd imagine.

 

I've been here with a Fabia 1 a few years back and the dealer could supply anything.

Thanks for the help everyone, really appreciated, I identified the parts on the LLL site, my son contacted them this morning to place the order but got the message:

"Hello,

Sadly, we are not able to offer you these parts.

Best wishes"

 

I'll try TPS & even the main dealer - often overlooked and update, meanwhile it looks like a spot weld drilling session will be underway on Sunday!

Best to use the LLLParts just to find the part numbers only.  At least with PN's you can now start to order up hopefully.

Yes, I'm not sure why they have such a comprehensive site then won't sell you the parts!  

Just a quick update, firstly many thanks for the useful information and links, these contributions have helped tremendously.  I've been busy with other things, putting this project briefly 'on hold',  but didn't want anyone following my original post to be left in-limbo wondering how things have progressed.

 

I stripped the 'remodelled' items off the car, noting part numbers where legible, the damage wasn't as extensive as first thought when the debris was removed!  I set everything aside in two groups, 're-usable' and 'for replacement'.   UK suppliers were unable (or unwilling) to supply the 'extension' section of body that supports the wing and located the upper 'X' member, it was tricky to remove but carefully drilling-out the spot welds liberated the mangled item,  replacement is on its way from Europe and will be plug welded in place.  The adjoining section was easily straightened (thanks to some applied hydraulics)  Other parts are all ordered and winging their way to Cheshire as I type.

 

As work progresses I'll post again with some supporting photographs.
