if its just the wheel the probably 150ish for the alloy + tyre.= 250

but who knows until the garage look at it.

i know when i slipped in the ice and hit the kerb at about 5mph it felt like
i had been hit by another car. ie. it probably felt worse than it is. so
fingers crossed

hi joe bad luck mate...... i managed to get a set of mk 4 gti alloys with
decent tyres on ebay for £210.
possible bottom arm bent +steering rack or track control arm,depends how
hard you hit it, but if the wheel is hanging off? then it sounds bad.
check some of the online breakers for vw parts when you find out what you
need.good luck!
