could i fit an r32 front bumper
« on: June 21, 2009, 10:23:20 pm »
Can someone help me, my friend has an r32 front bumper carcus (no grill inserts etc) for sale.
What i want to know is will all my gti grills swap over onto this?
Is there anything different with mounting this bumper?

Any help tips would be great :happy2:

I've heard the GT Sport, GTI and R32 front bumpers are all the same, only the grilles are different.  I'm not sure on that though!

the grills are different, i am going to get one when i can find one cheap enough, the grill rrp is around £350-£400 alone i think, and the bumper is around £300 rrp

So i couldn't fit my gti grills into the r32 front bumper that is what you are saying, but the bumper should bolt straight ont the car.

I rekon i'm going to have to give this a miss now with building my badgless grill and i like the gti honeycomb ones.

^^ That is correct. The GTI grilles won't fit into the R32 Bumper, but the bumper itself will fit onto the GTI.
