Title: Gti front bumper on a gt Tdi?
Post by: Dalejones on December 21, 2016, 02:01:55 pm
I have a gt tdi and it has the newer 170bhp bumper on it, now it looks like the same bumper as the gti one but just different grills? Is that right? Do all I have to do is change the grills to make it a GTI front? Will I need to change anything else?

Yes they should be the same just need the grills.
Do you have a pic of the bumper you already have?

Are you selling your GTI grilles? Do I need to change the fog lights?

yes I'll be selling those grills soon as I've fitted the Gt ones on. Shame we could have swapped  :doh: wanna swop your grills ?  :signLOL:

I'm not sure if the fog lights are the same  :thinking:

Well if the GT grills fitted straight on to your GTI then doesn't that suggest they'll do the same the other way round?  :thinking:
