Title: Rear big bumper question
Post by: Uruk Hai on 17 February 2008, 14:37: Does anyone know if a big bumper is one piece or two, I've added a pic to explain what I mean.

The reason I'm asking is because I have a tow bar on mine and if I could get away with replacing part A I would try and do that, thanks :smiley:

I'll grow udders and get milked before I pay Ã‚£207 for a bumper :shocked:

Post by: takethefifth on 18 February 2008, 17:25: ECP ones are allegedly better than GSF ones. You could try ringing a few scrappers to see if anyone has a genuine one in the right colour?

How about this?

Buy vag parts as the texture is way better than pattern ones.

Might be interested in your tow bar bumper. :smiley:
