replacement rear bodywork behind bumper

Post by Tezreddevil »

All

I need to replace the bodywork directly behind the rear bumper all along the width as well as the lower under sills attached both sides. What is the best place to get new. VW Heritage looks expensive.

:rofl

Thanks.

The bit behind the bumper is called the rear valance...yes its expensive, but not if you cut it out of a donor vehicle.

Cheers guys
It's not bad to look at as it is fully painted over but the entire length is filler. It spoils the good state of repair of the rest.

I'm ripping apart in winter for refit and small welds to chassis corners and will source a cut out for then.

Thanks :ok

I got mine from volksheaven cut off a donor, came with loads of the rear that I had to remove but I'd recommend them. Cost me about £150 in p&p
