valentines present from the wife

[duffy78]

Got a phone call from her whilst i was at work,

 told me she'd driven our GTI a bit far into a parking space and slightly scraped the bottom of the front bumper,

 well low and behold when i got home if she hadnt managed to rip the front splitter off!

apparantly she though it was supposed to look like that, yeah right, great liars women eh?

Only had the car a week!

anyway i managed to push it back into place but its a bit twisted at one end, also the main front bumper is a bit scratched.

 

Can anyone give me any idea of the cost of a new front splitter on a mk5 GTI? and also maybe the part no?

 Can anyone give any recommendations as to how i can try and repair the scratches on the black plastic part of the front bumper?

 

thanks for the help.

if i remember correctly that front lip spoiler is around £150-200. I dont think they do just the spoiler, you'd have to get the whole bottom strip (which includes the plastic bits around the spoiler).

Its a shame its already bruised after a week

i have scrapped the bottom a coulpe of times no curbs and driveways which r a tad steep.. grr

unlucky mate! id take her off the insurance. lol

I think I've got it right, they are extracts from an ETKA.

1k0 807 110        Description is down as "Spoiler, front lower"   GTI/GT
Give this to the dealer and see what they think it is..

The indicated price is around £30 - £40. (The price may have come down Maxamus or I'm totally wrong) The ed30 front spoiler is £325, then you have to get it sprayed.

As for the scratches, I need some advise myself as I have a couple on the front

RE: Scratches...

Ge the car sent in to be detailed. Its crazy what those guys can do to get rid of scratches. I saw a guy polish out a scratch on a Brand new Audi R8 and it was on the edge of the bodywork too.

If you dont believe me then look on detailing world. Im sure they can sort the marks out.

As for the bumper I cant help. Unless you wanna import a bumper from South Africa  .

lol!

I can so relate to that!!
Everytime my mom parks the car I start going crazy.

MOM! you gonna scratch the rims!
MOM! You are too close!
MOM! I just saw 6000 rand flash past my eyes.
MOM! STop the car!!

Poor woman. Who says they dont need men?

thanks for the part number,

its £35 including vat so no biggy.

Im going to give it some heat over the weekend see if i can get the twist out of it.

if not i'll prob buy the part and not put it on for a couple of years to see if it gets knocked anymore

had to laugh  just.... nipped out and parked up friday and caught my front spoiler when parking . couple of marks on it ,not big but i know they are there , and we all know thats what counts.... at least i know the part number and price . is it a easy unscrew and clip off job ....

[08micsta]

is it a easy unscrew and clip off job ....

 

You own a German Built Golf. What honestly makes you think replacing a part is as simple as just- Clipping it off 

......Just joking btw.
