Post by: 5miffy on 28 March 2010, 08:58: I agree, but there are lots of cheap imitations out there and with some the fitment is poor, I've seen plenty that look crap because people don't spend the extra to get a decent part.....

This it the link that inspierd me to get my R32 bumper

http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=138974.60

Its the second link down on Dub 77 first post is the one we went for and then on page 7 the bumper is on Dub77 car :)

As for making it look better its all down to 'eye of the beholder'. My reson was i have quite a big FMIC and want it to be hidden a behind the bumper a bit more and i have always wanted a twin exharts out back so the R32 idear was my choice. Would not look to good it you have a heavy looking back end with out a heave look front end in my eys any way.

I would say the bumper is good and is lighter than the origane VW one, but im shore the VW is stronger than this one.

Post by: Purely VAG on 28 March 2010, 10:54: Alot of difference in price thats why, £350 for a genuine one. £60 for a copy then spraying on top.

And stay well away from fibreglass you might its ok for a week or 2 then be pissed off with it.

Post by: vwprime on 28 March 2010, 18:26: There was no primer on mine so i would say his one was the same.
Title: Re: r32 bumper
Post by: T_J_G on 28 March 2010, 19:03: Dub77 got the same as BaV and Barry and wasn't primered
