from that link i cant make sense of whether a facelift bumper will fit my car. Mines a 1996 Gti. I want a facelift bumper so that i can get my LCR splitter on at last.

where can i get the bumpers from, the stealers will charge loads

any help?

Cheers
Chris

yeah, it'll fit fine - you'll just need to chop the bottom half of the extended wing off.

 

[Chrisdaman]

any idea where to get one from?

 

[m0rk]

breakers? some online places sell them

Or just a good old fashioned dealer - they're not 'that' dear

LCR splitter

DOnt change it mate, not many people have that bumper.....everyone has a LCR splitter!

 

[Chrisdaman]

hmm it's tempting, but i've had the LCR splitter ages and not been able to put it on, i'm only getting quotes anyway

You can put a facelift splitter on your mid lift bumper. Sell the splitter

 

[m0rk]

you can't..... tried that 4yrs ago on my SX, the bottom is a different shape

thats why my LCR splitter wouldnt fit the mid bumper, its not one or the other

Can even put later bumpers on without cutting the wing.. ( m0rk and the angle-grinder again, eh).. i put facelifted bumpers on my old Red-Shed ..so it went from this..

to this...

Didnt take an angle grinder to it either
oh, and it had foggies

^^Thats the bumper he has mate, mid facelift

Im sure Zero showed me one with a facelift splitter on.

Do i have someone who agrees with me on the splitter on splitter loving thing then m0rk?

 

[Chrisdaman]

the LCR splitter looks tidier than the mid facelift splitter as it's all one piece, the mid facelift one is in 2 pieces

But its just one splitter stuck to another, whatever floats your boat
