Hi MJT

As far as I understand this, I think the front bumper accessories are the same for the GT, GTI and the Edition 30. I understand they have the same fittings and screw holes.

But i'm sure others more experienced will give you a better answer.

The bottom of your bumper is exactly the same shape as a gti except it doesn't have the fixing points for the splitter to fit onto it. Your better off just buying the proper gti splitter and lower valance as they will slot together perfectly. I would have done this only I had my lower valance colour coded a few months before I stuck the splitter on so I just bonded and screwed the splitter to the valance,it's solid, but if had a choice again i'd just buy both the gti valance and splitter,they ain't that expensive.

........''yes'' but better with a ramp/ramps due to some of thr bolts/screws being a fair way under the car.
