Title: MKV R32 bumper skin
Post by: iainalpine on August 17, 2009, 06:43:11 pm

Guys, a quick question. Is the MKV R32 bumper skin the same as the MK5 GTI bumper skin?

Bumper skin? If your talking about the upper part of the rear bumper then they are the same?

No, they are slightly different. The R32 skin is different where it meets the silvered central section of bumper. This is because the R32 centre section slightly overlaps onto the bumper whereas the GTI centre section is slightly recessed. :happy2:

I'm sure someone with ETKA will be along shortly for you Iain :happy2:

I think the panel behind the bumper is slightly different too due to towing eye location and screw locations?
