 :smiley:

Just brought mk4 1.6 i know its not GTI but still....

S reg.







i love it. few questions, just wondering my front bumper, is it vinyl wrapped or something as it seems to have bubbled slightly, if so any method of fixing maybe hair dryer and smooth it down or something ?

Also i have been told its normal but when the car is at idle sometimes it dips and pics up revs on its own never stalls or anything and nothing stupid just slightly i think its normal but anyways  :grin: thanks for any help  :smiley:

Welcome :afro: Nice colour :cool:

Got any pics of the bumper problem? Lacquer peeling?

As for the revs A throttle body clean may help?  :smiley:
