Advice about some parts????
« on: April 21, 2009, 12:11:26 pm »
Hi everyone just after some advice was wanting to get a gti bumper and then get it sprayed as you might of read in another post, we'll i came across this already sprayed bumper for 80 quid so a new one from vw is 50 ish and i think that's only the bottom half just the plain plastic

So do you think i should or will the colour not match etc any advice welcome



2nd i've found someone selling this and am seriously thinking should i just go for it....
Similar things on my mind about will the colour match in and the guy wants 250 so what do you think????  :confused:



Cheers in advance

Tom

The badge isn't mechanical, it just triggers solenoid, so all you do is stick a spring in the system and pop it off the fob.

Thanks for the advice so far....

So what about the colours matching (there from different people and obviously the bumper would go into my top half)

also what about the price of the boot 250???

The colour matching could be your biggest problem as we have all noticed DBP is not the same on GTI's!

I think you would have to factor in that they both may need re-painting and hope for the best!

TBH im not entirely sure but they would have to blend it in I guess with the rest of the car! Its an area im not 100% on, but metallic paint I know is a nightmare!
