Facelift bumper

[euphoric2]

Hi all just bought a pre facelift ek9 but was wondering if anyone knew where to get an aftermarket facelift bumper copy as i've been told to fit the origional i'd have to swap the wings, headlights and bonnet. Can anyone clear this up for me cheers

you need more than that actually.

Radiator support will not support the bumper unless you do some cutting to the brackets. you'll know what I mean when you try to fit the bumper. The radiator support bumper brackets also sit slightly lower so your sealing with the bonnet and grill will sit slightly away from each other so it's not a tight fitment like Original.

you'll need;

Grill
Bumper + lip
headlights
fenders
bonnet
bonnet seal
Radiator support(optional for perfect fitment)

I know because I've got a prefacelifted model with facelift. Goodluck!

cheers mate, no ones actually mentioned the radiator brackets. Is it a long process to do the swap?

you dont need the radiator support, you can just trim the bumper a little bit and it will fit perfect, swapping the radiator support is 100% overkill in my opinion, i have a prefacelift as well and i too did the conversion but kept the stock rad support, i had to do some minor grinding to fit the grill but that was it, i used:

99-00 bumper, lip, grill, headlights, fenders, hood.
