(not a typo) 3 words- fix- it- yourself or open your wallet .. yes you can replace the endcaps.. (fiberglass bumper endcaps are almost $300 new EACH from vw (the only source), and nobody makes them aftermarket - the reason no new parts vendors carry them) or i can fix yours..(send me a pic of the damage) or, you can fix them yourself with fiberglass resin and matting.. i do have a bunch of fiberglass bumpers and bodykit pieces, but im all out of spare single RR bumper endcaps (the RR gets damaged more than the LR) i have some LR, rear centers, sideskirts, fronts, whole bodykits, etc..etc.. chris |
