It is a Maxton design bumper. I got it from ppcgb through eBay as it's cheaper on eBay than there website.
Spent a little bit of time on the bumper today. Trimmed the arch liners a little and now fit the bumper fine. All mounted up now just 2 issues that are a reasonable easy fix.
Looks ok but on closer inspection the bumper sits slightly low above where the reflectors sit.
Will make some packers to sit under the top of the bumper in those parts to lift it up. It does move if you lift it. Will get it dropped off at the body shop next weekend along with the front splitter.

Wow. That bumper transforms the car! Like the design is finally complete. Brings everything together, almost like its drawn a circle around the car.
Love the car Dubby, great look.
Was it easy choosing the gti exit bumper? I'm really struggling between r32 and gti.
Ive always wanted the car to subtle & nonchalant but people keep saying the r32 bumper should have been on the gti from factory. Plus i got the wiper delete like you and fog lens so symmetry makes sense :S
Ohh how i love this car :s
Keep up the good stuff Dubs

I already have a BCS exhaust and not a great fan of the Edition 30 rear skirt so this is a good compromise.
Went to my mates shop to pick up my wheels. Cannot beat a free set of wheels. Took a bit of time to get to them but got there in the end.
Gave them a quick clean and tried in the centre caps I had got.
Just need to decide what colour will go best with the car now.

Love mondials ! But they're so heavy! Haha I rocked them on my old motor.

They are a bit heavy but not like my car gets used a lot anyway. Plus it's a reason for a remap to counteract the extra weight.
Last piece of my bits for the body shop turned up. Rear bumper but only using the top section.
Split and cleaned up top piece.
15mm adapters for the wheels have been shipped so can test fit the wheels when they arrive.
