After having VW’s for about 20 years I have acquired a slightly damaged 2010 Exclusive DSG. It is a project for me as I’ve always wanted an Eos but need something to tinker with! It’s Indium grey which appears to be one of the rarer colours of the Eos world. Anyway all it needs is a bonnet, bumper, wing and slam panel plus a headlight and it’s good to go! The roof works although the sun roof needs greasing (my first job while I source the parts). The head unit is a Kenwood DNX unit but I think I will change that as the screen is burnt and the maps are missing. Not sure what to replace that with though. I have washed it since this was taken!

Welcome. At least the front damage in your photo could mean the roof has been left without damage or distortion? Carefully check the roof shut line gaps and seals. Take it once through a car wash with the roof closed and check for any major leaks caused by damaged roof parts, most of which are not available new from a dealer. Project work without pressure to get the car on the road can be satisfying if you have a good dry workshop, tools, and plenty of time.

Check the top underside of the front wings, remove their gray foam if fitted and check for rust. If it's started, consider replacing both with aftermarkets and re-painting them with the hood and bumper to get the best paint color match.

Thanks. The damage was a low speed crash and it goes no further back than the back of the near side headlight. All the shut lines are correct and the cabin dry so that’s all good. I’m getting used genuine panels which will be painted to match the car.
