I've been recently considering this myself, asked for a quote from a local body shop and they said £692!  :scared: I think I'll be leaving it then!

Hehe yeah it's also very pricy to buy these pieces colour coded from VW.

No sorry. Mine were already colour coded from VW. And I haven't got around to do the new rear bumper for my car yet since there'll be alot of work in that piece and haven't got the time yet.

I will try to fit a MK5 R32 bumper with the lower splitter from a MK6 GTI.


Third option is to get a used one from ebay or a nearby auto-recycle and have that re-sprayed.
