I have sourced a complete jetta front bumper for around 300 pounds and just wondering if this is worth it?
Also after a quick look on the forum there seems to be some confusion on the matter but the jetta front bumper is a different shape to the gt right? I don't want to buy a whole bumper when all I need is to buy fog grilles :thinking:
Finally does it fit on straight away or is there some work to be done to make it fit?
-
Just to add this is a jetta estate, are there any differences?
-
Do a search as I posted this up a while back.

If it's £300 including paint then I'd say go for it. I paid £40 for mine from a scrap yard.

@r5gtt because I know you've missed seeing it.
I've heard that the non genuine bumpers on eBay fit alright, I was gonna go down that route as its a lot cheaper than a genuine bumper.

I had found this but still wasn't sure, are the gt and the jetta front bumpers different shape? Cos if I can just get the fog grilles I'd do that rather than a full bumper
-
The jetta bumber is different to the gt and gti but the gti and gt bumpers are identical apart from the centre and lower grills.
So you'll need to trim the jetta bumper and buy new fogs and grills with the chrome inserts.
-
Ahh thanks you is there a lot of trimming to do?
