Buying from TPS

[AjayB]

Do i need to be a registered business to buy from TPS? i tried getting hold of a GTI Rear Valance last week but they refused me on the phone as i didn't have a business from which i was from..

Some do some dont if your having problems i can call my local TPS and tell them the part number of what you want and then say by the way i wanna collect it from (what ever is your nearest branch) they will say yeah no worries phil, you walk in give them my name walk out with your parts

if that makes sense?

Try getting the part number then go, in person, to their trade counter. Works for me..

[AjayB]

That is really generous of you mate .. Are TPS always cheaper than the VW Dealers? i got quoted £62 for a GTI rear valance from my local dealership. Not too sure on the part number though  

I'll try get hold of a different branch of TPS tomorrow and see what they say. If i fail again and TPS do quote a cheaper price i may take you up on that generous offer Phil! Do you reckon the Ed30 Valance will be much more?

If anyone has part number could they please share it here as it would be a great help.

Cheers Bacillus, i'll give that a try!

[Phil Miller]

I would have thought the ED30 one will be a lot more than the GTI one, let me know how you get on mate, if need be i can sort it with one phone call

Where you from ? I can hook you up in S.Wales
Last I checked the ED30 was around £350

Ouch, thats a big sting.. i'll be sticking with the normal GTI one then. I'm in bradford, Yorkshire mate. I'm going to give the Leeds TPS branch a go tomorrow and take it from there! Thanks dude, great to know people are willing to help like this!

[AjayB]

Thanks for the help guys, Bradford TPS wouldn't entertain my enquires at all so gave the Leeds branch a call, they have ordered me one for £56 including the Toe Eye cover :) Excited to get this collected tomorrow so i can get my BackBox delete and my chrome tips welded on

Wondering if its hard to replace the valances myself? anyone had any experience doing this without taking bumper off?

It's a piece of pish. Done mine years ago, takes about 1/2 hour start to finish

Did you leave the top part of the bumper on?

Yes you leave the top part on, after you have undo the torx screws the old valance just pulls off mate

Thanks for the reply phil, i've read that the clips are hard to get back on around the number plate area as its more flexible around that area. Is this true and is there any way to tackle this?
