Fitting GTI bumpers to a GT TDI
« on: 07 June 2010, 19:25 »
i have just fitted GTI bumpers to my MK6 GT TDI. I have 2 problems,
1: the front fog light wiring connector is different so i cannot connect up the front fogs as of yet. does anyone know where i could get a converter to do this or has anyone done it before?
2: i need to conver the rear exhaust to a twin tailpipe. has anyone done this before or can anyone give me any info on how to do it best or somewhere that could do it for me in the north west area.

Thanks

yeah the GTD rear bumper as a single outlet at the side (similar to a mk5 gti exhaust) for the mk6 gti the exhaust splits with one pipe at each side.

Sorry, of course it is. I was just thinking about the front when you typed that. It would have made sense to use the GTD one but it sounds like the OP wants to turn his into a GTI lookalikey  :laugh:

No not at all... I'm not meaning to condemn your efforts... just thought maybe it could have been easier. Unfortunately though I can't help
