There is a VW specialist place around there, don't know if they will do body work like that. Can't for the life remember what they are called now, Volks Apart or something like that, not too sure.

there a spray / body shop where i am in medway that's really good.  i know they will do body kits and spraying.

from the looks of the pic, its just n R32 style bumper with the rubbing strip smoothed.

a few of my mates have used Barney sands for re-sprays, but i don't know it they will do body kit fitting.

i'll have to find the numbers when i get home.

well im not sure, need to talk to them about it, they can either weld a new bit on, just fill the bonnet out even more or i can get one of those plactic things they can smooth it in and paint it

right the good spray shop near me is

http://www.mech-spray.co.uk/ (http://www.mech-spray.co.uk/)

01634 847940

the one my mates have used is

Barney Sands & Hartridge Ltd

01322 382096

one had a bonnet replaced and sprayed the other a few panels sprayed.

I personally would use mech spray as they have got a really good reputation and the bloke i bought my golf from had the bumper re-sprayed as it was starting to orange peel.
