Title: R32 front bumper strips and badge
Post by: r88jrd on April 24, 2014, 06:45:15 am

I've just bought a r32 but the plastic strips just below the headlight/just above the grills are missing are these interchangeable with the gti or jetta strips

Also does a jetta ,gti or a Tdi gt vw badge fit or does it need to be a r32 badge

Thanks in advance

R32 headlight washer caps are different to the GTI. (The big piece anyway) I believe the VW badge has to be an R32 badge as there smaller than the GTI.

You'd think, but keep your eye on eBay for some deals. I bagged an R32 rear bumper (genuine, brand new) for £100 less than dealer, got the reflectors (which should be £16 each) for £10 for both... Bit of patience can save loads of £££.

Also, get yourself over to the Wanted section on here and put a plea out, I'm sure someone, somewhere will have the bits collecting dust in their shed. You don't ask, you don't get!
