    Anyone have or know if you can buy the metal strip that tensions the rubber strip on the bumpers? mine has snapped.

  2. Not sure if the new ones have those, I'll look at mine tomorrow...
     
  3. Hi Ricky roo,
    just fitted a new set to mine today from C&C , they have the metal strip running through the middle. Didn't take a lot of notice if the strips would come all the way out. They were £35 each, quite pleased with the quality.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers
    Lee ;)

    cheers, i only want the metal strip the rubber is fine but if i have to i suppose i'll have to get a new complete?
     
  5. can you cut the rusty section out and weld a new piece in? to save £35
     
  6. Back in the day the metal tensioning strip was available from VW dealerships as a separate item from the rubber (as too were the end caps).
    The part number for the front strip is 241 707 230. (note it is a different length from the rear one).
    I have on a couple of occasions seen them for sale at VW shows in Europe, so they are out there.
