You are very limited with that bumper unfortunately. You would need the GT / GTI bumper for more options

I'm a beginner to modding, and have started new shifts at work with more free time, so looking to start a new hobby kind of thing  :rolleye:

Bought an 08 tdi that came standard, and would like to experiment with the front grille.

I do not want a full front bumper, so was wondering what options i have to change the grill only? I like the GTI red strip but im assuming you need full front conversion for that.

oh and heres what the front looks like now.

the only main up grade is the votex splitter if you can find one-like mine

I ended up buying a Jetta bumper, GT splitter, and GTI centre grilles, and cut down the bumper a bit to fit.
Doesn't take much cutting, and there's a hell of a lot of room for error.
Cost me £130 all in, so that's an option to consider :smiley:
