Rear Bumper valance
« on: 09 March 2011, 20:36 »
Hello peoples,

Is it possible to just replace the lower valance alone on a mk3 GL rear bumper, or do you have to replace the complete bumper?

Thanks  :smiley:

Hmmm.  I thought that as the case, but hoped it was separate like the mk4.

I'm hunting around for one for my brother.  His now has a fist sized hole through it where a tow bar used to be  :grin:

Thanks

Are you sure?

I was aware that it could be changed given they sell them seperately...

All the ones I have seen the rear lower valance is one piece plus a complete bumper will be cheaper.

thats right...it's all 1 moulding but ensure you get same as whats fitted now (plain, part coloured or fully coloured) as flaky paint never looks good

Are you talking about the bit at the bottom of the bumper?



If so then i'm almost 100% certain that it is removable..
