rear bumper
« on: 25 February 2010, 17:52 »
A previous owner must have fitted a tow bar to the golf i just bought as there is a cut out on the lower(black plastic) part of the rear bumper.  Will i have to buy a whole new bumper or can i just get the black plastic part from a scrappy to sort it. Got to get it sorted as it doesn't look very good.

I'm pretty sure you can just get the black splitter.

Yeah i think you can remove the back splitter, there should be a line of screws along the underside of it.

The rear bumper is 1 complete part. The only thing that is removable is the towing eye cover.

Yep, my brother had to replace the entire rear bumper on his because of the exact same thing.
