(Sorry, TPS sometimes supply them, but not in stock as they are not widely purchased over here. The other option is to just cut the reflector holes in as that is the only difference.

i believe the part number for the US spec grill without the number plate is

1k0853651HVW8

And the price i had last month from VW for that part was £151.20

The USA spec smoothed grill can be bought from all over and cheaper than the Stealers, either Awesome GTI or Merseyspeed online are the two that come to mind, costs from £105.  :happy2:

That is a US gti front bumper, with R-line fog grills, faclift gt lower grill, Smoothed facelift GT main grill and a Votex splitter

The US bumper is identical to a UK with side marker cutouts, It does not come complete with the rest of the grills and splitter

Try ECS Tuning and OEM Plus or just add some bumper side repeaters. Someone ion here is/was selling some. Have a trawl through the For Sale section.

As mentioned, its just a standard bumper with repeaters.  :happy2:
