smoothed bumpers on ebay.

doors are the same for every mk3 made. what you're after are the cl plastic door trims. these can be colour coded or black plastic.

Wouldn't buy a front bumper with the splitter smoothed in! Your just asking for trouble there and I would give it a week (providing the car is slammed of course).

Try getting a quote from a bodyshop for it. Price including spraying and smoothing.

how smoothed do you want them? like just the rubstrip at the top smoothed and coded or like full on indicators and swage line smoothed?

do it yourself, im smoothing mine as we speak and i have no experience with filler or plastic welding or very much spraying, just look up tutorials on plastic welding (theres a VERY good one on clubpolo by someone who smoothed his 6n 16v bumper but its all the same, just take the ideas and principals off that onto yours)

To get it perfect get a bodyshop to do it. Once its sprayed, you will see how "flat" you have done it. Unless your really an@l about it and spend a couple weeks on it, then no doubt it be as good, if not better than bodyshop.
