Rear Bumper

Ive got a VW 6n2 Polo, and I'm looking for a new rear bumper. Ive looked on so many websites and they're all used or in rough state.
Do I really have to get one from VW? Surely there are places that do rear bumpers?
(sound pretty stupid but need one asap)
Cheers

Cambelt n Fanbelt

Kind of a stupid question to ask but Ive got my cambelt and Fanbelt due to be changed, and I rung up the garage and they told me it'd be £250 to change, VAT and all other stuff included.

That's what I've heard too, and I've already looked at It, and have it out as much as it goes. But nevermind, I'll have a look round what's on offer. Thanks anyway man
