Genuine is finished better and already perfectly primed. Non genuine will have all sorts of blemishes and plastic cut lines not cleaned off.

You get what you pay for. You'll have to modify the number to fit your TDi as the radiator carrier is different. Or you can buy the entire carrier and change that too.

Non genuine will fit straight onto a non-gti without modification, whereas a genuine bumper needs adjustment and different fog lights.
