6k front bumper on a Polo 6n

[Subliminal]

I have searched, just so you know

I am aware that people have tried (and some succeeded) on getting a Polo 6n bumper on a 6k Ibiza Mk2.

What I am wondering, is it possible to do it the other way round?

I own a 6n Polo Hatchback and would love to have the front bumper from a 6k (pre-facelift) onto it as it looks much nicer than the standard 8v 2-part bumper that is on at the moment

Cheers

Don't think so mate. Heard the Polo is much wider... People that managed it the other way around have probably had to cut the bumper in half and take a slice out, then plastic weld it back together or something... It might work if you get 2 6k bumpers, slice both of them up and stick a section from one bumper in the middle of the other... Btw, pre-facelift?! That's the one I have... I can't see how that's going to be nicer on a modern-looking Polo?

6N polo is 3-4" narrower than the 6K Ibiza across the nose. It can be 'done' just cut the bumper in the middle, chop equal chunks out & bond together.

Mythbuster - It will look better since it is 1 piece, unlike the current 2 pieces the 6n has.

m0rk - thanks for that info will have to get down to the local scrappy to see if they have any in

Why don't you just fit a proper 6n 16v or SE front and rear bumper?

Single piece, full depth and bolt straight on

Martin - I would love to except they are few and far between, they normally go for around £100 for both, and they have been done to death by soo many people I just wanted to try and find something that was a little bit different.
