Startline to Highline bumper upgrade

[BuzzT6]

Did you ever complete this job @Thomas Hopkins ? I have a factory painted startline front bumper but the paint is now starting to come away at some of the edges (latest bit by a jet wash that was washing the van) so I’m now thinking about upgrading to the high line bumper

I got them from Elliot at Travel-Lite

thanks

I can do you a deal in a highline bumper

 

[BuzzT6]

Drop me a PM with prices mate if that’s ok. I’m away in the camper just now so haven’t had a chance to start looking yet

A few more pics of my Startline van up grades and mods.

Wheels, side bars and roof bars and I've also done a few mods inside but nothing special.

rear is from when I added reversing sensors and painted the bumper and added roof spoiler.

all going well.

next is side widows and interior and paint the door mirror caps, once I figure out how to get them off.

I got my startline bumpers and mirrors colour coded white buy my local paint shop
The guy did a fantastic job and only charged me 250 quid , he had to use a special primer to get rid of the textured finish

 

[BuzzT6]

My startline bumper looked great for a year then the paint started flaking off the textured bumper. That’s why I ended up getting this highline bumper painted

 

[Chris J]

Im about six months in so fingers crossed

 

[Chris J]

My bumpers are smooth now not sure how he did it but smooth gloss finish
Think it' the last time he will quote 250 tho

 

[BuzzT6]

Yeah once painted the textured bumper ends up with a smooth finish. I think it’s the texture that can cause the flaking issues if not done correctly but there’s a good chance you will have zero issues

 

[Willie]

Still working away on my van and a couple of recent mods outside with the side windows done and wing mirrors painted and fitted, half way through the interior making it quieter and nicer.

everything's on a budget as most folk but there is a lot of satisfaction in doing it yourself.

still looking for a passenger single seat if any about.

cheers.

All parts from Elliot at Travel-Lite and grill from VW.

Well worth the effort and looks like a different van.

Hi mate the difference looks awesome. How much was it sprayed and fitted ? Also is this it ?

I thought Travelin-Lite splitters came without the two large PDC holes (can’t remember why I formed that opinion)

 

[Mbr_tattoist]

I’ve seen similar on eBay I know they are copies but hey once they are sprayed who’d know

 

[Ads_Essex]

I actually think they look better without the holes.

Mark,

Yes that's the one I got from Elliot at travel-Lite, along with most of the other parts, no issues with fitment excellent fit.

£600 to get everything painted and fitted it all myself.

Speak to Elliot he will sort you out.

cheers.

Willie, as well as that part shown. Did u also have to buy a grill with the badge as the startline is all connected. Probably a silly question mate but I am a little confused. Thanks.

 

[Willie]

Yes bud I did, I bought a brand new one from VW. £56 if I remember right well
Worth it tbh, it just clips into the new bumper.

No issues


Cheers
