Just contact vagen and buy the fog light grills, That way you will be able to fit a genuine gti bumper with TDI fogs.

the vagen bumper doesnt fit quite as well as the genuine one does... for the sake of changing the fog lights for the proper ones, you'd be better off fitting a genuine bumper skin which fits your car much better...

I really would have liked to buy this

but the lack of foglights is an issue for me so it's gti I,am afraid ---Japan sell foglight grilles for r32 at a ludicrous 800 odd quid but i found a place in USA at 92quid not including postage

Having had an Xparts bumper and now OEM - please just buy a genuine one and spend 10 minutes cutting away some (hidden) plastic.
Fitment is so much better.

In regard to fogs, I got some Hong Kong specials for about £18 delivered. I have split the glass away from the rear of the lights (just unclips) and done the same with my standard fogs. I have then used the GT glass with non-GT rears - fits fine and been like this for over a year.

This way you don't have to mess about with plug connectors and all three screws bolt in to the bumper holes.
