New bumpers/arches etc from GSF

Hi, just wondered if anyone had bought replacement bumpers or arches from GSF and what the quality was like?!

Thanx

pattern parts so a little baggy on the edges.

Bought a rear GTi bumper from GSF and wasn't impressed at all: the arms didn't line up with the apertures in the body. I'm not talking about being a few mills out, these were way off target! You could fit the arm in one side and the other was two inches away. Had to cut and weld to get it to fit, then discovered that the bolt holes didn't line up with the ones in the body.

Bought a front bumper that was a "pattern" part (I think it was from carpanels.co.uk IIRC, and it fitted perfectly and looked "proper" too.

Just my tuppence worth from personal experience, maybe other people haven't had any problems with them....................................

dealerships sell bumper 'skins' for about £89 iirc Looks way better

The big bumpers are actually quite good, but as said smalls can be a bit hit and miss.
