Rear big bumper question
« on: 17 February 2008, 14:37 »
Does anyone know if a big bumper is one piece or two, I've added a pic to explain what I mean.



The reason I'm asking is because I have a tow bar on mine and if I could get away with replacing part A I would try and do that, thanks  :smiley:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

all big bumpers are 1 piece, you'll just have to get it painted!

Does anyone know what sort of fit are the aftermarket ones are ? I'm tempted to try and fill the hole on the bumper, smooth it over and paint just that bit  :undecided:

I'll grow udders and get milked before I pay £207 for a bumper  :shocked:

ECP ones are allegedly better than GSF ones. You could try ringing a few scrappers to see if anyone has a genuine one in the right colour?

How about this?

Doesn't say if its genuine or not though but at least its the right colour!

I think i paid about £100 for the rear bumper skin from vw.

Buy vag parts as the texture is way better than pattern ones.

Might be interested in your tow bar bumper. :smiley:
