Post by: alastairc on September 26, 2010, 10:11:24 pm

Anyone got any pointers as to the best place to replace GTi 'plastic' bumpers etc with colour matched propa stuff?

Thanks - i guess that means they don't actually need replaced?

I don't quite get whether I need to buy ED30 ones or paint them?

(being thick here)

Just paint the ones on the car mate, no need to buy ED30 ones.
Make sure you take it to a good paint shop so they can make it smooth like the rest of the bumper  :happy2:

Anyone recommend a good paintshop to do this - handy if nr grantham/peterborough or Dorking way but not essential

Between the two - stop at panelcare in rochdale. they'll order the parts in then you can just turn up and fit em
