UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Well after saving up my cash and many hours of ebay searching I picked up a set of front and rear bumpers from the 16v model. Spent all day yesterday getting the old ones off and only managed to to get round to fitting the rear. So this morning I fitted the front, badge is being sprayed tomorrow so shh here are the pics,

Before:





After:









What do you think?

Next step is to get my Votex LED spoiler sprayed and fit that. Plans for future are some coilovers for lowering and BBS RXii's.

Looking great mate!!

The cars looking real clean and tidy aswell, nice work.

When you getting the front handles done also?

De-badge the back perhaps?

Cheers Tim.

I'm surprised how well the red comes out after a good wash and polish. It was only a few months back it was on the brink of being pink , it just goes to show that a bit of effort and the right products brings the paintwork to life.

I'm going to get the handles done with the spoiler when I get the cash, it's easier to get them sprayed that way as I can get them to colour match. I was going to debadge the rear, but I wanted to show off that it was a 1.4

looks nice mate! Similar to mine now. I put mine on saturday as well. How did it take all day to get the old ones off lol? Saying that there is a lot of bolts. I aint got no tidy pics yet cos of the rubbish weather.

Cheers, it took most of the day due to the weather, it was snowing and the bolts were rusted. Even WD wouldn't shift them. Good old force was how most of them went in the end, i'm glad it worked out as i've never done anything like that before. The front was harder because a lot of the bolts were only accesable through the splitter which took forever to get a long screwdriver

It looks mint now though, i'm very happy.

Prefer 8v TBH!

cant find any pics fo the 8v.

mate could you put a pic of the back b4 you changed the bumper. cheers

Here you are mate.

lights look wicked.

16 valve is much better looking very smart
