No lol

Unless you're going for painted rubstrips.

Painted rubstrips with textured top bumpers would look very odd

How come you put Cl bumpers on it Wayne? :huh:
Golf MK3 1.8 auto and I didn't pay a grand for the "priveledge" :grin:, auto windows all round and a AC. Oh and I've got a luggage net you pricks!

Does that make my willy look bigger?

Oh yeah it's called Helda or something....

Main issue was the standard bumpers were in a poor state, I priced up respraying them but was a lot of money, so whilst looking for some s/h bumpers found a CL so took the bumpers / mirrors / boot handle.
