Gotta be more golf fronted golfs on the road than vento fronted golfs.

"hello quads" ?

Bellend - can I ask why you stuck your front number plate on over your freshly smoothed bumper, hardly seems worth it?

The best way to do it imo and the way i plan on doing is to get a spare rear bumper and chop a long section out of it and plastic weld it into a cut out in the front bumper. Less filler and same plastic used means a stronger and more durable finish. Plus you can still keep the swarge lines if you so desire.

+1 they way i'd do it/want to do it!
