Bumper bolt cap cover

Post by cubensis »

Hi, i know just kampers sell the M8 bolt caps for the bumper, and i know there only £1.50 each but i need 4 and £6 for something that should cost at least 6 times less i find very annoying!

Just wondering if anyone had any idea where these were available cheaper?

I have the same problem, I was considering buying the 8 pack of white ones JK sell for £4.50 and then spraying them black. But I'm pretty sure that wouldn't look as good.

I suppose I'll have to have a hunt around at some VW Shows
I asked for a car, I got a computer. How's that for being born under a bad sign?

Yea i saw these ones, there alright but not how the original ones look. The original ones are dome shaped and look better. I know i'm being picky but would like the proper ones for a proper price of around 50p!

Will probably end up getting the same ones as you though to be honest.

Hi, that's very kind of you. I think the ones you have will be what i choose to use for a while until i see the other type knocking around for a better price. Saves the bolts/washers turning rusty and looking messy. So i'll take you up on that offer if you have 4 going spare? Do you have a paypal i can bung you some money to cover your troubles?
