Front Bumper parts help (pic included)
« on: 11 February 2008, 12:01 »
Hi Guys,

I am Looking to get a new front bumper for the valver:
Mine is not too bad but need to replace parts 1 and 3!
Part 2 on the car is fine and doesnt need touching..




Reading here suggests the GSF ones are cack so I am going to the dealers.
I assume you can buy these parts separately?

If someone could kindly shed some light (or even etka numbers) that would be greatly appreciated  :smiley:

Thanks,

G

Parts 1 and 2 are a single piece I think unfortunately. Splitter being seperate.

Part1: I just rang VW and the dude is quite sure the part 1 is absolete!?
Splitter is 70 quid!

Does this mean I would have to buy the whole bumper as one?  :sad:

Why do you need to replace it? Is it damaged or just faded, because you can fix that :smiley:

i got a bumper from euro car parts, fitted perfect, looks mint. splitter was dirt cheap too, was a bit tight, and took some banging with a rubber mallet to get it on, but looks fine now its on.

parts 1 and 2 are deffo one peice. sorry dude.

some shoe polish will bring it black on part 1...

Thanks,

Crap about parts 1 and 2 being one piece  :sad:

Does the euro car parts bumpers come with the color coded bit i.e oak green in my case?

No its all unpainted plastic. Should be a cheap job though at a body shop (I'm hoping anyway as I've yet to paint mine!!).


I'm defo going to get some spray on waxoil or something to coat the bumper irons though as they look pretty rust-prone.
