Aftermarket bumper

[JezGTI]

I have recently replaced my original rear big bumper with a new aftermarket unit.  When I spoke to the garage I was told that the aftermarket bumper they used was virtually identical to the vw original so I agreed to got with that as it was a lot cheaper fitted.  Now when you look at it on the car it looks like it is sagging where it comes around the sides and as a result appears to be about 3/4 lower than it should be.  Is this likely to be just the fitting or is it possible that the bumper just badly shaped?

I have aftermarket bumpers on mine, and they do seem to sit a bit lower than the old ones did.

With my aftermarket front bumper i had to adjust it alot to get it looking right. Still looks out of place

The aftermarket ones are poooop and I would recommend getting proper vw ones, however getting these is not exactly easy................ due to all the small bumper owners trying to get them also.

Aftermarket bumpers are dogs cock. The originals are best but are expensive.
