Don't know if I'd take a MK4 and remap one these days, they'll be high mileage ones on the market nearing the end of their life.

Mileage means nothing  :smiley:

Ok, I'm slowly realising that OEM Mk4 R32 parts are impossible to find...

From trawling the internet for days for an OEM front bumper I've found just one place that currently sells them from the US, that would cost me >€1,000 after shipping. I can't find anything second hand on eBay or the like.

Would my best bet be to order one through a dealer?

You can't get them from the dealer either  :sad:

How on earth did I not find those? Is it maybe because I'm in Ireland and my eBay is limited? Thank you!

BTW I spoke to a few local dealers and they all said they could get one in for me, circa €600.

Surprised at that as in the uk they haven't been available for ages
