Im not sure if cully had one I know the one fitted to his car was fibre glass.

All copies can never beat OEM but for the price of this if its ABS plastic at the fraction of the cost of OEM I cant see why I wouldnt buy one myself. Shame I have a beemer now  :grin:

Ive been told the only REPS worth buying are the FK & JOMS as they are a straight fit.

I just hope these have the cutout for the badge.

Nothing wrong with the price FK are doing a up to 90% sale again I just bought kw coils for 340 cheaper than dpm!!!

Just ordered one cost about £56 with shipping which is still a steal! I leave a note on the order requesting that they send the one WITH the cutout for the VW badge hope they don't mess that up.

James, Out of interest how much should I expect to pay for mine to be sprayed?
Title: Re: Surely this cannot be right.....!!
Post by: turbokid23 on 02 December 2012, 11:03
Looking at about £100
Title: Re: Surely this cannot be right.....!!
Post by: GTi_James on 02 December 2012, 11:07
depends where you go really, i got qouted 50£ a bumper by my local but my mate who works for Orwell trucks got qouted a full respray with the company they take their repairs to for about £950 in original colour or £1000 in a colour of choice, i'd say £250 for bumpers and side skirts sounds about right tbf

that does look spot on especialy with the FMIC, im getting it done in normal silver but also getting the door rub strips rubbing out when i take it for a full respray, also want to tint my new lights and get the black magic grill piece put in. and im gonna fit mesh as apposed to the OEM grills as i think personally that it looks better
