I read this as de bagging. HA  :laugh: :grin:

I saw the front bumper in fills for sale on ukmkivs the other day...Other wise you will have to make up a bit of metal to weld in and then smooth, same for the bumper having to smooth over the gap.  :smiley:

The rear could be done with filler to be cheaper. But I guess you need to weigh up that when you shut it there is the potential for cracking.

Personally I like the VW badge on the back but I removed Golf and gti.

I have never seen them for sale on there own but most front De badge grills you buy comes with the bit to fill the bumper and bonnet. The only way to do the rear right is to weld in a bit, filler will crack and sink over time.

The front is pretty involving as it need a metal semi-circle of metal welded into the bonnet- filled and the whole bonnet sprayed
