Hey all,

I'm after some Caravelle bumpers for my T5 that I can colour code.

Prices seem to vary wildly. Some also seem to include the grill + badge and others don't.

Is there a manufacturer I can buy them from or should I keep searching eBay?

My van has a tailgate, which means there's two horrible bits of grey plastic under the rear light, I'm having trouble finding primed versions of these panels - anyone know what they're called?

Happy to buy second hand and collect, I'm often travelling around the South West in my van.

Also, anyone know a good spray shop around Bristol?

Cheers!

Check out Banwy.co.uk, they sell new genuine VW parts but you can at least see the bumper components you require.

I've spoken to Banwy and they said:

We have discontinued it as a kit, due to high courier costs and lack of packaing from VW. I will ask if we can relist it though.​

Any other clues where I could get one? JustKampers sell a bundle, but it seems expensive.

what about using the various parts database websites (i used to use partsbase.org but I think this is no longer available) there are others about. get the parts numbers and try your local TPS branch?

Just Kampers - are they selling genuine VW parts? research the quality if not before purchasing.

They're not genuine but apparently the quality is okay.

I've got the part numbers and there's a TPS near me, so I guess that's my next stop.

Or maybe just hold fire for a while and keep searching eBay. They pop up now and then. When I last saw one on there, it was around the £500 mark, plus the cost of painting of course.
