eBay mate, I had to replace a broken 1 on my gti upgrade! Cheap enough but I think they are handed so get the correct side!

Dealer will be the best option Or perhaps a local breakers

Is this the bit that stops the bumper from moving slightly when fitted ?

I have the same issue :D The thing is, this part has his own part number, but you cannot buy it from dealer, it comes with bumper only and its kinda rare, because goes only to Jetta, GTI and Chinese don't make these.Actually they do, but don't sell 1. Breakers don't sell these without bumper too. I have read that ppl use standart bumper bracket and it fits with modification, hope it helps. Which side do you got?:D Human Joist, these brackets hold the bumper, so yes.

Cheers. Mine had a front end knock before I got it and the bumper seems to move away on each end slightly so I presume they may have been damaged. Will have to pop it off and have a look
