Has anybody bought anything from these guys before??
-
Let me know if you order from these guys as I've also been looking at their bumpers :happy2:
-
Not a bad price that... Alike most people on this forum I would advise steering clear of anything lesser quality than OEM itself as it just wont fit right....
Mind you in its defence being only a rear lower valance you probably wouldnt have to many issues with this...Steer clear of replica fronts & skirts etc tho....!
:happy2:

Just bought my rear lower bumper from these guys. I went to there main showroom in Ilford Essex to pick it up. They do have a facebook page.
The mould looks good, but I have not tried to fit it on yet. There is still work to be done on the bumper as it not 100% smooth/flat.
They also came with the reflectors.

Sorry mate but could you clarify:
You went to pick it up the bumper and it wasnt of good quality?
are they completing the work to finish the smoothing for you?
There is a seperate thread on this as GTI-Ross just bough the R32 bumper i beleive.

I order min from here about 3 days ago, should arrive tomorrow if the snow hold up,
The guys assured me they would fit perfect and if i had any problems they would do a full refund no hassling.
Hope it looks the part. I will post pics when it arrive and fitted.

The bumper is made out of abs plastic. Better then fiberglass
When I mean smooth/flat, The bumper will have some ripple effect when you spray it. So there will be abit of work trying to get a nice finish. I'm just being fussy.

Ok, so the bumper finally arrived to day after a bit of a mix up, snow and bank holiday. After unpacking it and checking it over i was very impressed. It feels very solid and was built / moulded.
It is very smooth so i dont think it gonna need any extra prep work. Im taking it to my body shop guy this week, ill then know how good it actually is (like fit wise and stuff)
Think im going Red and main Section and Gloss or Mat Black on centre lower section.

Does look very good, im interested to seee how this bad boy fits! :happy2:
-
my mate bought one which i painted for him in work, look like really good quality
-
That looks really good quality. Let me know the fitment! I dont think I even need to spray this.. looks better than the plastic rear bumper I have on my 1.6 already!
-
That looks great! made my mind up now. :happy2:

Yeah +1 to this!
-
I'm thinking of getting one with the standard gti exit. Will be much better than standard even unpainted so should be a good mod for £100
How does this fit, are there any screws or does it just unclip
-
Is the towing eye hole a proper cover or just a moulding?
-

Yeah it a proper cover mate

Including VAT, isnt it 125? :confused:
-
I didn't look that far into it lol but still even at £125 seems worth it. I'm gonna get one on payday

Does it have a cutout for the towing eye? can't see one in the pics
-

No. Got to make one.
-
No. It does have the cut out on it, the piece all pops out if needed. :happy2:
-
Doesn't look like it does on the left an no exhaust models. as there not shown on the website like the one you have is.
That is what made me ask you the question in the first place Ross.

Oh right i see what you mean, i would just ring and confirm, all the other seem to have it
-
To be honest it don't bother me that much if it hasn't. just wanted to confirm it for myself and others
-
Did you get it on? how does it look?
-
Got a R32 with GTI exhaust cut out one over the weekend, Decent quality but is gonna need a bit of prep to get it perfect as i can see where the mould was altered to delete the r32 exahusts,
Otherwise very happy so far.
I can also confirm the one with the GTI exhaust cut out does not come with a towing eye hole
*Also PPCGB are asking customer to be patient as some bumpers are turning up to them without the reflectors included*
-
On a positive note, I deal with the Lads at PPCGB on a daily basis, and if they say there gonna get some thing done they usually do
-
Yeah they asked me to be patient and it still turned up in 3 days. Couldnt ask for better customer service.
-
Are these the ones which are a fiberglass - plastic combi?
Get some pics up when you get it painted / fitted :happy2:
-
No they are definatly just plastic,
Might be a while before i get mine painted.
-
i have a perfect R32 one here for sale: Never been fitted, brand new:

Awesome! Are you going to get it painted?
Are you pleased with it??
-
The fit looks a bit off to me, especially on the drivers side
-
Always liked the GTI exit on a R32 rear, OEM+. Is it the light, doesn't appear to fit to me. :confused:

Come on guys :surprised: and :scared:

Is it an easy job removing bottom half of bumper? Walkthrough anyone?
Thanks in advance
-

Looks Good. Need to get it primed and painted. I'm doing this myself.
The fitment is good. It all lines up. The right hand reflector need a bit of work to make it flush.
Its need to be sanded down a lot. Bits of imperfection everywhere.
I would advise if you have no experience on body work don't buy this. Look out for a better one. But all aftermarket bodykits won't be perfect.

Really interested in getting the R32 rear to my ED30, sorry if ive missed it earlier in the thread at all but, like the OEM bumper, is the rear valance a separate part on these bumpers too or is the bumper all one piece??
-
^^^^ Unlike the OEM R32 rear the ppcgb ones are a single piece. :happy2:
-
Anyone painted and fitted one yet? R32 exit preferably.
-
Mine is being fitted and painted next week so I will update with a report and pictures when I get the car back. :happy2:
-
Anyone got an update on these at all regarding fitment or any issues with them? Really interested to see what they look like fitted...
-
Really good fit mate. I've got one for sale in the sale section. Check it out, pictures of it fitted there to :happy2:
-
Sent them an email yesterday about their bumpers and they've informed me that there is no longer a hole or cover for the tow eye so I guess its just moulded without. Anyone know if this would be hard to sort out? Can't imagine it'd look all that neat though :S
