Replacement bumper for my GT tdi 170
« on: May 11, 2017, 04:10:25 pm »
Hi all I have need a replacement front bumper for my 170 (am told its the same as the GTI) my question is if I buy this non OE copy bumper off eBay (can't afford a genuine one or a non damaged second hand unit) will my OE mouldings and grills fit on properly? Sometimes in the past I found copies to be not a good fit :( thanks

Well.. Save the money and don't buy the replica bumpers. Never seen one that fitted without sitting wrong or had to be modded to fit.

Find yourself a second hand one in good condition when you have the money for it. You'll be much more happy with the work afterwords.
