Is that the only way you can fit a gti front
Bumper by cutting The centre bit out which surely
Hold the bumper up mainly??

Nope, you can change the bumper reinforcement bar behind the bumper to the one which I believe is different on the GTI/GT sport models, therefore no cutting required.

I'm sure someone with more knowledge can confirm that though

Don't worry about cutting a bit off, the bumper is going nowhere.

You could change the carrier, crash bars, foam etc but it isn't necessary.

will this mean no access to the tow eye if you don't change the cross member bar?  could prove to be a bit of a nightmare ??
