Title: Rear Bumper
Post by: greigforsyth on November 19, 2014, 08:45:14 pm
Hi I've recently bought my Gti and gave it a wash a couple of weeks ago. While I was doing so I happened to mess about with the rear bumper. The part in looking for looks like a cover for a tow bar or something, well it's fallen off and I'm wanting to buy a replacement, but haven't a clue what it's called so can't find it. Can someone please help me or even better link one for sale, much appreciated

Cheers but it's not that part, its a long cover in the middle of the bumper. Looks like either for a gap in the bumper for a tow bar, but you can see a heat shield in it as well do not sure what it's for. I'd take a photo but haven't got one, cheers for replying quickly though
