Technical specifications and fitment

The offered hood belongs to the Hoods category and has been designed specifically for the Volkswagen Golf Mk7 model. The construction, intended for front-of-vehicle installation, ensures proper airflow over the engine bay and compatibility with factory hinges, locks, and struts. Using an original body component reduces the risk of issues with geometry, panel gaps, and alignment with the fenders or bumper.

Lapis Blue Metallic paint finish

The hood is finished in Lapis Blue Metallic, characteristic of the Golf Mk7 trim levels. The metallic paint provides a visually attractive effect while maintaining consistency with other body panels in the same shade. For many users, this means the possibility of replacing the part without the need for a full repaint, which shortens repair time and simplifies the service process.

• potential to reduce paintwork requirements when the color matches the body.

The used nature of the component makes it a cost-effective solution while maintaining the structural parameters specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

Application in accident repairs and restorations

The engine hood in Lapis Blue Metallic is suitable for both accident repairs and body restorations of the Golf Mk7, where maintaining color consistency and proper front-end geometry is crucial.
