Rocker Panel

So, during the winter I managed to scrap/dent the passenger side rocker panel of my 2000 Beetle, Geoffrey. After it happened I remember seeing them available online for purchase, but now I can't seem one. Does anyone know where I could purchase one?

You can get an aftermarket side skirt, but the rocker is welded on, you have to have a body shop repair it if you want it back to stock...there is a thread on here about the cost of repair if you search for it.

oh, I know that it needs to be done by a body shop, and I have one to do it. He just asked if I could get the part, since he's doing me a favor and squeezing me in when I have time to be without the car.

How bad is it damaged? Replacing the old panel is sometimes more work then just fixing it.

I think it's pretty bad, but I just want it fixed. I already ordered the part from thee VW dealership, but here's a pic.

Yeah a replacement is the way to go. While that could be fixed it'll certainly take longer.
