Any company that cant even spell its own name right needs to be avoided at all costs :stupid:

Ha I spotted that too,
Who would you guys recommend?
-
Keep an eye on ebay as genuine r32 bumpers always pop up there.
Don't get replica as they just won't fit right
-
I may just do that,
Wanted the skirts aswel really
-
thats a cheap kit they are using, more than likely not costing them more than a couple of hundred quid for the lot. just hold out for the real deal to come along, its a waiting game to get one at a decent price.

What's a the average prices guys?
Rear bumper,
Side skirts,
-
I have bought a rear bumper from this company and it dose fit but it does not split into two half as the proper one does, so I don't know weather to get it painted or not?? what would you guy recommend?? :notworthy:

They are .. just the gti ones are not painted to the best of my knowledge :happy2:

R32 sideskirts come smoothed, primed and ready for painting.
GTI sideskirts are finished in textured plastic like your rear plastic bumper (lower half)
Buy the gti skirts, much cheaper and any bodyshop will smooth them down and paint them. That's what I did and they're perfect

C8DGY you are buying a GTI so you will already have the side skirts, just get them painted if you want 'R32' skirts :happy2:
Regarding the other bits, always go for genuine OEM if you want them to fit properly without having to cut bits off or force them together.
