Paint on edges of rear bumper

Post by sbarker555uk »

Just looked at the inside edges of the rear bumper on my brand new GTI - its pure white. And noticed that it looks like the paint is very 'thin' here. There is almost looks like a very thin black line where the plastic is almost coming through the paint. Sure its noticeable because its white, but I am sure others must be the same.

Does anyone else's look similar ? I am sure I had same thing on Audi A1 I had I presume it must be something to do with painting of the bumpers but on the Polo it looks like it could almost wear through the paint very quickly !

Any pics if anyone else has same would be good

Not found this on my white GTI. Did have a bristle over-painted on the edge of the rear bumper where it meets the rear bodywork that was sorted under warranty. One nice thing about the solid white colour is that paint chips are easy to sort out - dealt with two so far and invisible now.

bit surprised not same I have taken photo will try post up. It looks like its the molding mark there is I line that run-up the edge up the bumper both sides and it's this bit that looks thin paint. Been to local dealer, standard polo bumper look OK. Had golf gti and same thin paint in same area on bumper
