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 mate. :afro:
Tidy looking motor  :cool:
Not sure whats going on with the bumper?  :undecided:
Any idea when it was last serviced?  :smiley:

hi mate and welcome like the colour of your golf :afro: looking at your bumper it looks like a laquer/clearcoat run can be rubbed down maybe with a 5 micron (we use at work) sanding disc and wont damage the clearcoat to much as long as you take it steady it could rub out :smiley:
