You are going to have to more specific - do you mean the GT sport where the bumper changed or did you mean when the mk6 came out, which used the mk5 platform?

So if I was to buy a 04 plate, would it be difficult to put on a gti front bumper in order to upgrade it?   I have read something about trimming the bumper to fit, would this be difficult?  Thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply.

No it is simple to do, see my sig with a genuine bumper trimmed on a 55 plate (blue car). You cut away a part hidden by the upper grille.

I had an Xparts replica bumper for a bit, my advice is stick with genuine only.
