Title: Rear bumper valence paint
Post by: wilka78 on August 29, 2015, 07:05:57 am

Bought a new rear valance (same as an r32 but with twin pipe to the left same as gti) what colour does the internal part get painted where the exhaust comes out and surrounding lower part as I know it's not the same as the rest of the bumper as that part gets colour coded, cheers

I've got that on my ed30, I've painted the lower part in gloss black

Any pics, some I've seen look grey, my car is black so if I painted it black it probably won't stand out

You can get it done in carbon fibre or something like that.

Yeah once I'm at home, I will upload some
