On that quote, why are they charging you for a replacement licence plate??? Bit of a conjob there, 10 quid and vat on top for taking off and putting back on your old one

The old one was cracked from the crash. Her insurance paid anyway haha... Still not had my bumper replaced had a good close look at it and found out why it's split in the same place. It's the impact bar inside the bumper and when the impact of the car happened its cutting into the plastic in the same place. Ill take a good pic to explain.

Ok so in terms of replacing the bumper I'm in a position where it's going to need doing at some point but reading another thread I've noticed that on some models there's a gap for the exhaust... Few questions and opinions

1: will either bumper fit regardless or are they specific?

2: will I have to do anything with my current exhaust pipe?

3: which do you guys think looks better?

You can just about make out the impact bar where's its cutting into the bumper cover :/

The filthy bugger has finally been debadged! Taking it for a wash tomorrow I think and a good Hoover and polish inside.

Has anybody got a list of what bulbs fit the car. I see all these error free ones on eBay and don't know what to think really.

1: Both use the same fittings, just the rear valance is different.

2: You will need to buy this to fill the gap, it'll look a lot nicer - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/S-STEEL-DROP- ... 6712131%26

3: As above, it looks nicer in my opinion, breaks up the back a bit

Awesome is that the same for the Rline rear bumper cover too? If so I think that could look pretty good

jimbo_tdi · Post by **jimbo_tdi** » Sat Feb 02, 2013 9:07 pm

Yeah I think it the exact same, I'm looking for a silver bumper with a cut out going cheap, I fancy showing off a little chrome but without the soot I got with the 9N3 haha

Bit of a long shot but does anyone know the part number for the RLine rear bumper cover? Going to get a few quotes for price

Got the weirdest issue I've come across so far :/ past few days I've been getting into my car probably 6/7 times its happened out of 15 times so not a constant issue but I get in my drivers seat and the seat runners haven't "clicked" in... So I end up sliding around and the bar/ handle is floppy. Now I can honestly say I haven't done anything to cause it and I probably weigh 11 stone wet through so don't think it's ass cheek affected. Properly got me stumped because its not consistent. Gonna keep an eye on it... Just got out car and made sure it wasn't sliding around so if I get in tomo and its moving :/ ill send it in for vw to tinker with

Bought a stubby aerial off eBay that said fits all vw cars yay! Got it yesterday and it just doesn't... The thread on it is too thin oh well, anybody got any ideas where the best place to get them is? I've had a look but none really look decent
