Can you get that front bumper from anywhere?

This is not the Thunder bunny kit, I don't think this kit is too bad.

But this one is :signLOL:

All the bodywork was custom by OSIR out of Hong Kong, including the bumper, rear diffuser, bonnet, and mirrors. Full APR tuneup.

The Thunder Bunny kit was released a couple of years later (2009 IIRC) and was "based" on the R-GTI, and was released for the Jetta TDI cup. Available as an official kit to put on a Rabbit. IMO nowhere near as nice as the kit that Riso did for the R-GTI, but it probably complies with pedestrian impact etc.
