cost around 130 for the front one alone GPC do good deals and are genuine bumpers (cheap bumpers have grey texture). Fitting is easy.

there piss easy to fit, Go to GSF and get the Maxpower / Haynes VW golf book, it explains it all there.

Basically there 2 bolts under the front and rear bumpers, undoo them, pull out bumpers, put in new bumpers do it up, And your done.

Unless your like me who ripped everything else out to make way for a intercooler that will be appearing behind my bumpers very soon ;)

Fielder, are you gonna do an engine swop eventually.  If so, what motor you going for?  An intercooler will be a bit wasted on a CL!

I'm still saving up, but I'm gonna get an AMD remap and a new milltek exhaust soon.  AMD reckon remap alone will give me 15 more horses!  8).  With some expensive air-intake mods I could be pushing 150bhp.  :P   All from a normally aspirated 1.8 20v.... Turbo lag, shmurbo lag.
