Has anyone else seen/got the red trim surround that fits on rear bumper around exhaust ?

Thanks for the comments onzarob !!

Just been browsing the 'WWW' re the red trim for the exhaust surround and I think I may have sussed it.

GTI Edition 30 rear bumpers are slightly different to the normal gti rear bumper and appear to have a trim/surround around the arch cut out for the exhausts. I think this must be the trim that I am referring too.

Will visit local VW (Halifax), I'm sure Nigel in parts will have an answer for me and hopefully be able to sort me out with the part for a good price

Just to keep you guys posted.

I have today bought a complete used Edition 30 rear bumper as this is the bumper that has the lip around the exhaust cut out. Dealers were visited but the best me mate could do was the lower half rear section for around 3 tonne. Managed to get the entire bumper for 2 tonne.

Have given it in to have it re-painted pro style is current paint job was poor despite being the same colour as my car and getting the exhaust trim painted red.

Should have it by end of the week. Will post some pics of it and installation as gonne try and do it myself using details provided by others in this forum. Wish me luck !!

PS will be selling my entire rear bumper which is colour coded v.soon !!

Hello again folks, for those of you you have been with me on this one I have finally completed what I set out to do a few weeks ago.

Front lip was done early, then found out the rear lip lives with the Edition 30 rear bumper which I managed to source. Just picked it up today after a completely new paint job to entire bumper.

As weather was good also, car got its wash treatment, took bumper off using the 'how to guides' which I must say a VERY useful, especially for a novice like me who usually wouldnt dare do anything and pay the ******** and the like to do it for me.

Old bumper taken off quite easily with the assistance from my 5 year old !!

New bumper put on and all secured and assembled as it should be. Bumper cleaned and polised and this is the outcome, LOOK at my pic.

WHAT do you guys think then ? any comments/feedback appreciated and finally I want to say "IT WAS WELL WORTH IT".

Cheers, Shaft
