Let me put it another way for you, what I ment was non textured or colour coded, so in a way they are smoothed.

That is an easier way to say it, however you'd have to say late VR6 lookalike as the early ones looked like GTis lol!


I won't be buying any beer, vodka and red bull ftw lol!

Late CLs had fully non-textured CC'd bumpers, even the 1.4's!

Most CLs have textured, non-CC'd.

Oh, and sorry to hear that.

Could Vento if you wish, if not pick up all the parts cheap!

Fix yourself, not hard at all.

well on me day off today i had the car looked at by the garage my inshurance recomend if i choose to use them. they recon there is over 2000 grands worth of damage and repares etc, new front bumper and bonnet, headlights grill and splitter. and it has caused some damage to the structure of front end of car aswell also front radiator. so the inshurance will more than likely write the car off :( gutted as this golf honestly would of gave new cars a run for there money when it came down to condition it was imaculate. havn't a clue what inshurance will pay me out if they write it off, if its with in 1000 squid mark ill save up a tad more pennys and prob get a bmw compact as thats what i originally wanted before getting me golf or anouther mk3 will do, if its a gooden!  may have to keep my car if the inshurance offer to pay out a stupid amount below a grand and just have to repaire the car my self over time but this is a more hassel and exspensive option for me. pics of the damage below for you all.
