Help needed with bumper
« on: 20 February 2019, 14:28 »
Had my rear bumper repaired under insurance and I think they have forgotten a part. 7.5 GTI

Please check your rear bumper is there a plastic stone guard on the inside edge of the bumper lip? Or just painted plastic bumper?

If you mean this area (circled in red below), then on mine at least, it's just a painted edge to the bumper.

Yeah thats it, so yours is just a painted edge all the way down to the bottom plastic black trim of the bumper?
