Title: Jetta Votex rear
Post by: Rob. on November 16, 2014, 05:34:12 pm

I need this rear bumper in my life  :drool:

Any idea where I can get one from? I can't find anything concrete on Google. Should VW main dealer here be able to source it?

Failing that, would it be possible to plastic weld and smooth the textured centre section on a stock rear bumper?

Mine looks exactly like this, and I hate the needless textured section in the middle

Well, after dropping into my local VW dealer, it seems they can actually supply the Votex rear bumper. Not sure whether I can bring myself to shell out the £260 it'll cost though  :chicken:
