nfbr Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 the rear arches on totally different on the GTI. Someone tried it a while back but it ended up with the arch fasteners not fitting, so it looked un-finished! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 You have a GTI front bumper?Is this the one that was just on eBay? Pictures please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lupo Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 ahhh man! how much modification would i have to do to make it fit? erm it might have been on ebay, i bought it from piston heads. Cheers ppl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 The rear arch on the GTI is a totally different shape. You'd need to speak to a bodyshop to see whats involved but I highly doubt it would be less than £500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lupo Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 ok cheers mate, ill have to give that idea a miss then, would the Sport rear bumper fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Its essentially the same as all others apart from the gti , just depends on the lower section and where the exhaust exits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAIRBear Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 this was my plan, the only part that looks differant on the gti bumper is the very lower part, the bottom 4inches or something with the built in 'mudflaps' and exhaust exit, which is where the standard ones have the black plastics. so if you cut that part of the bottom of a gti bumper, and took the plastic part off the bottom of the standard bumper, and put the two together i think that would be the best way to do it. Its still obv modifying it but it should mean you dont have to play around with arches ect. food for thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Lupo Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Ok cheers for the advice, hmm I can get a gti bumper cheap so I might just buy it and see how much I will have to do to it, if it's to much I can always sell it. And what's is the lupo 3L is it a newer version?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
