ebay is your friend, my friend :cool:

You *might* find one at your local scrap heap but I doubt there are any wreckless GIT drivers who would write their golf off :evil:

I guess if anyone hits anything, thats one the first things that breaks.

be wary fitting it to a standard car, as there was talk on here a while back about how different the a GTI bumper is to a standard one, but then if you got those seats in so quickly I doubt it will be any problem!  :laugh:

Thats a lot of work to turn it into a GTI.....
You still need the Monza alloys (17/18"), painting the calipers, likewise with all the bumpers.....

Im just thinking how cost effective this is. Would it not have been easier to convert a "GT" to a GTI?
Or better still just buy a GTI?

Isnt that going to look a little strange with just the GTI bumper and nothing else...?
