 :happy2: I've got the same problem with bumper on passenger side! I can live with it though!

gtgeorge:
Ive fixed the bumper, the 3 clips that appear broken are not, i just got a flathead screwdriver and popped the bumper back over the mounting, hard to explain, just need some thicker bolts for the 2 grill ones as they are loose and allowing the bumper to sag under the headlights.

Im going to order the GTi red/honeycombe grills soon, what will these GT Sport ones fetch ? they are grey but black plastidipped.

Cheers

Munzz:
Which bulbs have you got in the fogs bud, look good!?

gtgeorge:
Hi mate they are SMD bulbs, and the MK5 bulb type is ' HB4 ' so HB4 SMD foglight bulbs. However ive bought two sets now both supposedly error free but the bulb out light showed up on the dashboard!, second set the guy sent me a set of resistors which worked but the resistor bit got so hot inside the bumper it melted through the undertray! So im waiting for next option now! Bulbs are £10-£15 a pair.

Ive wound the front down some more today 6 and 1/4 inch from strut base to first adjuster to 5 and 3/4 inches. Cool and accurate way to measure it :)

Cheers for the response, regarding the resistor the exact same thing happened to me and now I have a melted undertray.

I'll keep an eye out to see if you source a solution!
