Title: US spec bumpers - Where to get them
Post by: TC#44 on February 27, 2012, 10:50:25 am

Helloooo all

I'm looking in getting a MK5 golf and I want to put the US spec bumpers on it and maybe a few other bits so just wanted to know if any one has good websites where you can buy parts off for them

Thanks Ian

Front or rear bumpers?
Apparently you can get them if you know the part numbers from TPS.
I got my rear bumper off edition 38.

You will need the marker lights too unless they come with the bumper?

I have the part codes if you need them.  They were passed to me by a friend who ordered his from a VW dealer in North Wales.  I'm sure there's a few people that will tell you the trouble they have had in getting the bumpers from the dealers though.  Apparently part numbers can sometimes be the same for different parts in different regions if that makes sense?  I think a lot of it can be what luck you get with the dealers!!

I think there's a few US spec bumpers floating about on edition38 at the moment though.

These are the numbers I have been given, they are printed on the invoice from the VW dealership and the parts that came were correct.
