No mate sorry. But all I did at the time was type in front bumper conversion.
Went through a few threads did a bit of searching and came across
Some pics. But to be fair. If you took your old bumper of and offered
Up the new one it would be obvious where to cut, and you'll
Only need to cut behind where the main front grill sits( number Plate) one

Its only the facelift GT main grille that needs cutting the GTI main grille will go on without.

As said you will need new foglights for the GTI/GT fog grilles.

just done it to mine , slam panel was £200 ish for a genuine one as no one makes it after market. got bumper and grills off ebay all OE , for some reason the fog light connectors dont match so its another job to do at some point. well worth the effort it makes a massive difference.
