Title: could i fit an r32 front bumper
Post by: plush-automotive on June 21, 2009, 10:23:20 pm: Can someone help me, my friend has an r32 front bumper carcus (no grill inserts etc) for sale.
What i want to know is will all my gti grills swap over onto this?
Is there anything different with mounting this bumper?

I rekon i'm going to have to give this a miss now with building my badgless grill and i like the gti honeycomb ones.
