I'm no expert, but if your paint has been kept in good condition then before you stick it on spend a day detailing the paint (wash,clay,wax) it should be fine (It's not like your car is a mk1 golf!)

I've been thinking guys.  I want to get new bumpers eventually, and I need to get my spoiler sprayed and fitted.  The thing is the cars 9 years old, I imagine the black paint will have faded some.  Do you think it'll be noticable if I but brand new diamond black parts onto the car?

A good spray shop will be able to lose it / polish it to match

Well, I've just removed the entire front bumper and fitted the new bulbs, yay!!  It's such a manly feeling doing it, and actually not needing help

I did however rest the bumper on the ground, and being an idiot forgot to put something under it.  I now have a huge scratch in the middle of the bumper above the licence plate

And to help the day out,k it started snowing half way through taking the bumpert off!!

Also, I think the passenger side front wheel has a slow puncture

I'm not sure what the normal VW bulbs are, but the ones I removed were Osram.

I've just ordered these

Can anyone tell me, do the old handles pretty much pull off?
