Got these pictures from a guy with a 35. Still don't get how the spoiler goes into the car. It either clips into the valance, or there is a separate part,  but ETKA doesn't list a retainer for the spoiler... :(






Any ideas?

Can anyone PM me a VIN number for a Ed 35? Will ask local dealership to check against my VIn what differences show up

does anyone know for definite if the GTI grille, fogs etc will fit an ed35 bumper?


the dealer has agreed to replace my bumper they damaged and were trying to work out a deal on a 35 bumper

i know the bumper skin, lower spoiler (both parts) are required but do all the other gti bits just swap over?

thanks

easiest is to take your VIN and a ED35 one and have the dealer check the differences.
Of course getting a ED35 VIN is apparently harder than a wedding dick...

let us know how you get on with this.

i might be getting a ed.35 bumper skin from the dealer as a replacement hopefully but need to know if all the trimmings will be suitable

isn't the ed.35 centre piece gloss black instead of grey like the normal GTI too?
