#1: Cutting standard front bumper to fit GTI mesh? Author: jimbo2470, Location: englandPosted: Sun Feb 09, 2014 2:49 pm ---- So, has anyone cut a standard front bumper mouth to fit a GTI mesh grille? I only ask as I have acquired a mesh grill and don't want to shell out on a GTI bumper. Cheers for any advice.

It's expensive to go from non sport to sport. You'll have to replace your wings as well as front bumper otherwise the bumper doesn't fit... Sports wings are about 65 a side for my EZR pug... Then there's the bumper as well... Not worth it, haha. I've bought some mesh and just going to fit that.

I asked a few people and they said different. They said the end of the bumper was more flarred too but maybe I'm just wrong, haha:)

The only difference I had was front arch liners are different, All the panels lined up fine. I might have a few photos some where, Was like 5/6 years go tho lol.
Edit...
This was mine with bumper on non sport wings... (best pic I can find atm, date is 2009 on this one lol)
