SEM Bumper texturizer.
If you want it to come out good, take your bumper to a body shop, bring them a textured side molding, and tell them to match it on the tops of hte bumpers for you (mask off your bumper yourself if you want to be safe).
It will probably cost you around $50-$100, but much cheaper than buying new bumpers (whether it be stock bumpers because you messed them up, or the real euro bumpers)

truck bed liner still does not match the textured look of a euro bumper. There is other spray stuff you can buy and you could take it to a body shop, but beware. It sounds like an easy task but it is actual not, to match the texture and things like that is difficult because the materials used by VW and other manufacturer's is a much different material than what you are gonna get out a spray can. Those bumpers are not textured like that from spray it is cause of the molding and the material used in tose are made to stand up to everyday driving conditions. anyway I may be wrong about the molding part, but I am pretty sure. What it all comes down to is if you try and go around buying textured bumpers by making your bumpers looked textured it will look like crap, regardless of what people say.

that's the stuff that you can get at a paint supply that will closest resemble the texture stuff. This is the actual texture coating. Otherwise, take it to a body shop.
ps - i'm selling an american-spec textured top bumper, very affordable!!
