Newbie question
« on: December 01, 2015, 02:36:05 pm »
Hi Guys,

This is my first post after being a lurker for a while.  Bought my first GTI some weeks ago and it unfortunately had an unfortunate minor incident involving a wall that appeared out of nowhere while reversing at night...

There are now some mildly offensive scratches at the back so I'm thinking of replacing the affected plastic bits. Problem is the generic term "bumper" seems to apply to a lot of things so please see picture,  if anyone could give the correct terms it would be a massive help! Thanks

The top part is normally called the upper section of the rear bumper bottom section is the lower valance or sometimes lower splitter? Open to interpretation though I'm sure people call it many different things lol

Alright cheers!  I think I'll resort to emailing breakers with the pics of what I need... No one at work could give a straight answer either ha ha
