16vStyle 0 Posted February 18, 2004 What is it you want to do to your bumpers?, as I've taken on doing mine myself. I have done a fair bit of plastic welding and none of it has cracked or shown through. I have recentlly just finished completed flushing my rear bumper and am half way through a chopped front bumper. Here is a picture of the rear bumper before I prepped and sprayed it.. If your in the South then I might be able to Help? :?: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil K 0 Posted February 18, 2004 I assume that as you can get debadged grills its easy to do with a grill (just read that back :oops: ) um, so 16vStyle, if you don't mind me exploiting your kind offer to Darren would you be up for helping me put my dub badge off center on the grill? Have seen it done on Golfs but not on a C and thought it'd be worth a go! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
