Front bumper ETKA question

[Peter W]

Wow confusing, I spend my days looking at the different specs of B787's this makes that look easy !

I'm sure the Ed35 came with headlamp wash as xenons were standard as well as parking assist. So only one bumper for this model.

Feel free to shoot me down if other Ed35 owners have a different bumpers.

With Park Assist? I didn't know any Golf came standard with Park Assist...you learn something new every day!

Don't forget, bumper skins are worldwide...so just because it wasn't standard UK spec, doesn't mean it won't be listed in ETKA as available.

The more I think about this, the more inclined I am to just have a standard replacement skin. After all, I'll come to sell it at some point and a buyer will see that it has the wrong bumper on it. If I saw that, whatever story the seller told me, I would still be questioning why it had had a new bumper. What untold damage was still lurking beneath?

With the plain ones there is a part number 5K0 807 217 BM GRU

Is BM related to blue motion ?

The only other plain bumper part numbers are

5K0 807 217 BL GRU
5K0 807 217 CG GRU

Ess_three, when I say park assist, I'm not relating to that auto park, wheel twirling system that I've seen being promoted. I'm talking about 4 circle parking sensors in the bumper relaying audio and visual assistance onto the rns510.

Ahh...technically that's just the plain-Jane parking sensors.

Park Assist is the auto-parking system, and the front bumper on that has additional sensor holes on the side of the front bumper...so the bumper skins are different.

I'll ask you again, what has a winter pack got to do with anything?

If you can tell me that all MK6 Golf Bluemotions come with a winter pack, therefore washers, that will be of some use, as I'll know that I can't buy a Bluemotion front bumper without washer holes in it.

GolfVI-May-2010 brochure

Headlight washers form part of the Winter pack, along with heated front seats, a low washer fluid warning light and automatically heated windscreen washer jets. Optional on all models except S and BlueMotion.

To answer my own original question, it seems that all Bluemotion bumpers come with dummy washers, just like GTI/Ds.

Thank you all for your input.

You not going to bother changing it then?

No, as I said earlier...
