Title: Golf Gti MK5 sideskirts and rear bumper difference - confused
Post by: mrggg on March 03, 2014, 02:01:14 am
Hi why is there a difference between some gtis bumpers and side skirts. These pictures will demonstrate what I mean: (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.pistonheads.com.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com%2FFullsize%2Fvolkswagen%2Fgolf-mk5-mk6%2Fgti%2Fvolkswagen-golf-mk5-mk6-gti-S863966-7.jpg&hash=456548b3ab917fb3aedc91e7d2d02d8f98473438)

As you can see the corner of the rear bumpers are different. One looks like it has some sort of mudflap on it, while the other dosen't.

Also you can see the difference at the front of the sideskirts. One again looks like it has an extra piece of plastic next to the front wheel arch, while the other dosen't.

I hope what I said was easy to understand. I just want to know why theirs a difference.

No difference there pal. Same skirt, same bumper. The second Golf has front and rear  mudflaps which was an optional extra I believe.
