Its the same bumper...just the grilles are different  

That'll save you a few quid!! No bumper to buy and get sprayed!!

Thanks guys, thats one thing i can crack on with 

[tomh23]

Sorry for all the questions,

My steering wheel does not have the radio controls,  are the wires beind so i can change the wheel for one that has, and does this have to be activated  ?

Looking at 18" alloys to replace the std 16", what sort of drop do you think to keep some sort of comfort ? ( im coming from a  Astra MK5 888 so really anythings comfy haha )

Cheers.

No the wires for the steering controls wont be there.

Youll need a new steering wheel with buttons, new controller and airbag wiring loom and possibly slip ring and it needs to be coded with vag com/ vcds.

As far as lowering goes I think between 20-30mm will be fine on 18's use either eibach pro 20mm or H+R springs 30mm as they both get good reveiws on here. I have 30mm H+R'S waiting to go on my GT TDI.

 

[tomh23]

ok  so there goes me swapping the wheel then  

Sound ill look at the lowering, did you swap spings and shocks or just springs ?, and do i need Jetta ones with the extra weight ?

Ta :)

Im only doing the springs as most on here say its fine but it will shorten the life of your shocks.

Check your pm's when you get to ten posts

Lee the jetta and golf GTI bumpers are different although they do look the same the side grilles have a cut out at the top inside where the chrome strip is...

I bought some Jetta grilles from the bay and they didn't fit my golf gti bumper?? but there is 2 different Jetta bumpers one with the cutouts and one without aka like the golf??? not sure why they did this.

Tom I have the lower GTI grilles if your bumper is defo like the golf? £25 and there yours mate.

Cheers Darren,

I was going on my mates Jetta which he changed to look like U.S GLI everything fitted fine. Now I stand corrected 

I think he has the chrome strips so looks like his bumper is noooo good.

Shame as I thought id got rid of my set of GTI grilles too 

[tomh23]

Cheers this is mine, is it just that gap thats the only difference at the top of the grill ? Do the middle, upper and lower one still fit ?

[mortygttdi]

Tom the middle upper and lower grilles fit fine, but you can see the upper part of the side grilles it has a cut out in the bumper to fit the longer top chrome part.

Cheers Darren.  If i was to put a gti fog grill on mine would it just leave the holes to the left or right of it or would it leave a gap across the top ? Im always up for doing something different so if the fog grills still fit i might try encoropating that top part ( not chrome though )

[tomh23]

oh and my current bumper, can a ED30 splitter be added to this style one ?
