MK5 Golf GT Bumper Upgrade - What Screws do I need?
« on: January 05, 2012, 01:56:41 pm »
I've finally managed to source all the parts to change my GT TDi front bumper to the facelift version.

I have the following parts: -

  GT/GTi Front Bumper
  Main GT Grill with number plate holder
  Right and Left GT Fog Light Covers
  Lower Centre GT Grill
  GT/GTi Fog Lights

I understand the wheel arch and underneath screws will be reused from my old bumper but I need to know which screws I need to fit all of the new bits together.

I think I need screws for the following: -

1) Attach Fog Lights to bumper
2) Attach Fog Light Grills to bumper
3) Attach Centre Lower Grill to bumper
4) Attach Centre Main Grill to bumper

With 4) I think I reuse the top screws from my existing bumper but need two screws to go into the bottom of the Main Grill?

If I've forgotten any please let me know.

As a side note, does anyone have any pictures of which bits need to be removed from the bumper as I'm not going to change my slam panel.  Decided that it will be easier should I wish to return to standard.

Finally, does anyone know the size of bolt required for the front tow eye.  From what I understand by not changing the slam panel I will not be able to easily access the tow eye so i'm going to fit a tow strap instead and need the right bolt to do this.

Thanks in advance

Think I've worked out the screws for myself.

Fog Lights -
N 090 294 1 - Tapping Screw x 6
N 905 353 01 - Speed Nut x 6

GT Main Grill -
N 907 397 01 - Tapping Screw x 2
N 909 591 01 - Speed Nut x 2

GT Fog Light Grills -
N 105 971 01 - Taping Screw x 2

I think the bottom GT Grill clips in and is then screwed in place when the main grill is attached but would like someone to confirm this if they could.

Thanks
