Not a bad price that... Alike most people on this forum I would advise steering clear of anything lesser quality than OEM itself as it just wont fit right....

Mind you in its defence being only a rear lower valance you probably wouldnt have to many issues with this...Steer clear of replica fronts & skirts etc tho....!

Just bought my rear lower bumper from these guys. I went to there main showroom in Ilford Essex to pick it up. They do have a facebook page.
The mould looks good, but I have not tried to fit it on yet. There is still work to be done on the bumper as it not 100% smooth/flat.
They also came with the reflectors.

Sorry mate but could you clarify:

You went to pick it up the bumper and it wasnt of good quality?
are they completing the work to finish the smoothing for you?

There is a seperate thread on this as GTI-Ross just bough the R32 bumper i beleive.

The bumper is made out of abs plastic. Better then fiberglass
When I mean smooth/flat, The bumper will have some ripple effect when you spray it. So there will be abit of work trying to get a nice finish. I'm just being fussy.

Ok, so the bumper finally arrived to day after a bit of a mix up, snow and bank holiday. After unpacking it and checking it over i was very impressed. It feels very solid and was built / moulded.

It is very smooth so i dont think it gonna need any extra prep work. Im taking it to my body shop guy this week, ill then know how good it actually  is (like fit wise and stuff)

Think im going Red and main Section and Gloss or Mat Black on centre lower section.
