Title: front bumper
Post by: mossy1969 on 20 February 2009, 18:30

just a quick one is the front bumper splitter supposed to be paiinted white or just black  plastic like the rest of the car seems strange to me could it have accident damage       cheers http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/VOLKSWAGEN+GOLF/Ne-2-4-5-6-7-8-27-44-49-53-61-64-67-103-133-146-236,N-152-209-240-4294966995-4294967159/advert.action?R=200906328407979&distance=89&postcode=ne23+7rs&channel=CARS&make=VOLKSWAGEN&model=GOLF&min_pr=15000&max_pr=&max_mileage=&vehicleYearOfManufacture=2008&vehicleRegLetter=08

It's been fitted with an Edition 30 front bumper which is all colour coded and slightly deeper.

Seems a bit odd I suppose, as they hav'nt done the rest of the car (sills etc)

Are you thinking of buying it  ? If so try and get the history of the car if you can (VW UK or dealer who has serviced it), or get the car inspected ... otherwise you will always have a nagging doubt. :undecided:

You would also probably have to declare it to your insurance company as modded!
