R32 front bumper, how much lower?
« on: 10 September 2010, 21:38 »
Does anyone know how much lower the R32 front bumper sits compared to the standard GTI?

I think it will look fine!

I know a few people who run just the R32 fronts without skirts! i did for a while.

Just adds an extra nice smoothness to the front end!

Yeah skirts would be next on the agenda, want to fit FMIC without chopping my standard bumper but also want the R32 look anyway...

If you get a Forge fmic, it fits snugly behind the standard bumpers and even the original grills with no cutting  :smiley:

True, but i'd like to go with the R32 front end anyway...
