Oaten Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 The lupo goes in for paint on Thurs VW have approved the rust on my roof to be removed and resprayed and I thought I would get the bumpers and bonnet done while its in there. The bumpers and bonnet are costing me £250 so not to bad to be honest.I will post the results next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shop in down bindon road near the old test centre.i know them, been there for a quote before about my rear bumper, they wanted £150, so i thought i would wait. will send a hard copy to VW HQ again on monday, getting fed up now, its has been months since i reported it to them.May have a go at repainting the rear bumper myself, got a bit of confidence now after respraying my mirror and finding i could actually make it look good!

Oaten Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 try and pick up a cheap or free bumper and do a tester on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEP51 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 try and pick up a cheap or free bumper and do a tester on thatI think i will just have a go on it, cos if i f it up, its going to end up in the spray shop where they will sand it all back anyway.And even if it isnt perfect it will be far better than it is now!
