I've managed to put a hole in my rear bumper. Can this be repaired and any idea as to the cost? Also how much are replacement rear bumpers for the UK Tiguan. It's not painted just black textured plastic. I've attached a pic.
Pic up a secondhand one on eBay... I would say it would be easy to swap over, but you'll need to have a reasonable amount of knowledge as the bumpers have parking sensors in them.
The lower section (satin black below the part where the number plate is fixed) is either £115 or £151 from VW depending on the model and suchlike. It's not the bumper you need but they call it the spoiler. The bumper is a metal bar fitted behind the spoiler.
Thanks RICH1986. I've had a look on eBay and can see there are quite a few rear bumpers that are reasonably priced but they are scratched and dented. There's one that may be okay but it's so dirty in the pic it's hard to tell the true condition. It's annoying because mine was mint until I punctured it!!
Be worth getting a quote from someone like Revive (http://www.revive-uk.com/). They did a good job on a bumper scuff my son's old Golf, but I'm not sure if they can make good an actual hole.
Other than the main dealers I just checked my local body panel supplier and they don't list them I'm afraid. They're usually very good for all panels etc so I'd suggest it might be a dealer only part. If you have a local TPS then maybe you could pick one up from there, but TPS is a trade only outlet (they're VAGs own parts supply network) and you might not get any joy from them as Joe Public. My local VW dealers will generally beat any price for parts as they sponsor a local forum, but not anywhere near you I'm afraid. I'd be looking first at a smart repair type of guy and see if they can offer any sort of cheap fix. But there's no guarantee it's going to be any cheaper than a new part and fit it yourself really.
Personally I'd take a punt on driving to Sheffield and see if this one is worthwhile. But if you can get behind your current one and get the part number then a google search would help locate a direct swap no doubt.
I had to replace mine due to damage. It was about $110CAD. It is easily removed with about 6 Torx screws. The you swap over the reflectors and backup lights. Whole task easily done in under an hour.
Ring up your VW local parts department, in 2011 a new one cost me 49+VAT (maybe it was a bit more, but it was certainly less than £70 (incl the VAT), which included the CNC cut out for the factory fitted towbar, I can't quite remember the procedures to change it, but it only took a few hours to change it diy

There's about 15 different part numbers (model dependant) listed in Etka, so for an exact match it's easier to undo the few screws and look at the part number on the back of the spoiler.
