sorry just a quick1 lads... anybody got an idea how much 16v front and rear bumpers would cost for a 6n? do they mount to all the same points as 8v ones? easy to fit?.... where would it best to get them? thanks!



oh and would it be cheaper to get an 8v rear and fill it myself and have it sprayed or is it better go 16v original? i dunno...

Im 99% sure the fit like they're meant to be there in the first place, In Ireland you'll be looking a long to get them second hand, give ebay a shot and try traynors up north, they come down to the capital once or twice a week with pre-booked stuff...

Even though i just said they wouldnt be cheap over here i still think it'd be cheaper than filling it... and an original would look better imo..

Hey dude, filling is probobly not the best idea TBH, much better to get a real full plastic one with the propper shape. Not very expensiv either. Try

http://www.volkswagenspares.com/ (volksapart) (new patent or VAG 2nd hand)
http://www.eurocarparts.com/ (new patent or new VAG),
VW (bloody expensive)
Theres a dude on ebay who sells patent ones very cheep - search under mk4 polo gti.

If you buy new ones be sure to order the grills as they are not included, they can bring the cost up too.

I hear that patents dont fit as well as VAG. So i avoided them.

Cheers

(edit - fixings are same)
