Philplop Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 The GTI bumper is one piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unheard Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 You need a 3L bumper then you dont see it in most pictures but i have found some that you canI really like the look, i was thinking of this for my sport. i would love to grafting in the arch for the the exhaust and keeping it black so it looks really standard. if you have the money and time to track down the part numbers i think you should go for it. it would be such a nice mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I think the smooth rear without the butthole for the exhaust looks better, so i vote for you to get a custom hidden tailpipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unheard Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I agree it looks really nice without the exhaust and thats what he wants i think its worth doing.On the other hand i have a sport and think it would look equally as cool if i could subtly modify it to except my exhaust. Its something i was thinking of a while back after I backed into a 2ft high super large wooden planter outside a pub we got directions from in deepest darkest Kent. It was about 18 foot long and 2ft high and totally invisible in the pitch black. I hit it really hard and shifted it 6 food back. 5 of my friends tried to shifed it back but we could not get it to budge lol. It was really quite impressive to see a perfect imprint of the corner in my bumper. I managed to heat the bumper with a paint stripper and it popped out really well but its still got a bit of a crack so its on my to do list still.

Unheard Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 No they are the same as all non GTIs are, Do you know anyone that speaks German? Its not the type of thing that would come up on German Ebay so your best bet is to find a German speaking person that could ring a VW dealer in Germany and find out direct i would think it would cost less that way than getting an english VW dealer to order one in.If its something that more people are interested in then it could be a Group buy! Dependent on price i may be interested I am not sure if the copy of ETKA they have in UK dealers would come up with the 3L parts or not. I just found a site with some nice picture of a 3L with a colour coded bumper http://members.home.nl/erikvanekeren/LUPO01.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 just had a look on Vag cat, they dont list any thing for the rear bumper although they list the front 3L bumper,the plot thickens, also might have to speak a german feller at work on monday see what he says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
