Surely if it was just done for kicks they would have just smashed the car up? I think it was a piss poor attempt at nicking the GTI kit for another car - wont be much use now however.

Pikeys!
Did Scoobie STI owners not have this issue as you couldn't buy the rear spoiler unless you had the docs to show you actually owned one so the pikeys would just rip them off.

Whatever next??
Beggars belief.

I've just had new front and rears on my GTi.
Front - a re-spray due to a prang (my fault)
Rear - replaced under warranty due to a deformed section in the number plate area.

Link below will tell you all!

I was speaking to someone the other day who has a GT TDI and someone had nicked the rub strips on the bumper that contain the headlamp washer jets, his foglights and his brake ducts.....damage meant that it was well over £1k to repair and replace, so he's had to go through insurance.

There are some scum bags around  :fighting:

^^^^ weird or sus ^^^^

Are the two locations within reasonable vicinity of each other?

Not sure how you'd prove the bumper came from that car though.... Not looked yet (am on phone) is the scroate also selling the rear part too?

Ooohh how werid this is on Ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/golf-gti-mk5-front-bumper-/280568249210?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item41532bbb7a

Me thinks it could be from the same car ?????


I don't think it can be from the Gti, the one on ebay is not an original Gti front bumper. Look at the lower sections of the grill (plastic bits around fog lights etc.), the Gti has the honeycomb inserts, the one on ebay just has the standard inserts.
