ok i think i know why i didnt clip it in the wing properly
just one more Question
At the bottom of the car there is a rubber kind of splitter thing which the screws go through. Does the bumper go above that or under that?

Fit it finally. It was the bottom catching mate.
Did you have problems with the bumper above the headlights where you screw it in and the grill at the top?

Sorry for the resurrection, but reading this thread with interest as I just bought my first Golf and cant help but admire the look of the GT Sport, does anyone know where I can find a pair of GT Sport fog light grills with the chrome moulding above the fog light, along the top? A bit like the Jetta grille, im not sure they ever made the GT Fog Grille with the chrome bit?

thanks

They are Jetta only. They will only fit in a Jetta bumper aswell.

Jetta bumper will fit standard Golf with the same mods as the OEM GTI/GT bumper.

Cheers Apollo, as I have already bought the GTI bumper there is no turning back now, a set of Gt Sport Grilles will be subjected to some chrome wrapping or plastic chrome plating just above the fog light to get it like this picture, but they have used the jetta bumper i think.
