I was going to do this on mine, but loved the centre exhausts too much to leave in the end.

Does anyone know if this includes the painted lower part (obviously not painted) or is it just the textured plastic piece?

Hi Ben,
That price is just for the plastic part that is at the bottom of the bumper.
Bumper new is another £200 new.

Ouch that's quite steep


Still tempted though Just need to find myself a cheap R32 rear in Black on Ebay

They come up all the time on e bay, though I got really impatient. ususally about £120ish, though most of them will need resprays anyway due to damage or bits broken off.
At least I knew I was getting hte best I could afford with buying straight from VW.

Yeah im really impatient too
But if i can hang on long enough to find a decent one in black the cost of not getting it sprayed etc will help offset the expense of the lower bit

Well thats what im trying to tell myself anyway

No, that link is to buy the lower half of the bumper. i.e.

No, that link is for the bottom half of the bumper i.e. included the painted section that takes the reflectors and the bottom unpainted exhaust trim section.
