paid £80 for my cracked one a new one should only cost £200 now that they dont even make the mk4 anymore the fact that they have been selling the gsi bumper for £300 for the last 7 years you would think they bought the price down and then sell alot more!

i,ll have to get you to get them then daz if you can get them for £120 still £215 for a full set for me lol

also are they all matching parts? my 2 previous experiences with euroshitparts is one bag of parts 2 completely different parts in the bag (rear shogun arb links)

makes m-tec look even more promising
