I suspect he means the MK6 GTI's twin exhaust rear bumper.

No one on this forum has done it to my knowledge. Most people do the R32 bumper.

I reckon the MK6 bumper probably has different shut lines so might not line up properly. Get one from a scrappy and experiment  :happy2:

or experiment shuffling bumpers at a scrapyard with Mk5 and Mk6...try before you buy sort of thing.
