What's needed to fit an Ed35 front bumper?

[Belix]

Hi folks
During some late Christmas shopping yesterday, I managed to turn while reversing out the parking forgetting the bay next to me had some kerb stones left in it. managed to completely rip the front bumper out and it's torn all the mounting eyes out.   :embarassed:

Since it looks like I'll need a new front bumper, thought maybe an Ed35 front bumper would be a bit different. An R front end would be great but it seems like it needs a bunch of things changed.

Is the Ed35 just a bumper skin change and lower spoiler or is there also a bunch of changes?

[mkviken]

bad luck. its why i don't like shopping!

hope you haven't damaged the side mounting brackets too. they look pretty flimsy too.

the edition 35 bumper looks just like the bumper skin, the only difference being the bulges at the bottom of the bumper so hopefully the normal GTI grill and spot lights fit in.

from a quick check of ETKA there are three parts, the bumper cover, lower spoiler and something called a closing element that are different for the ED35 bumper.

So the grill and lights will be ok to re use? That will save a few quid

[SteveP]

Yes grill and lights are fine

Let us know how much it sets you back. Think you may need to dig deep into your wallet

Here the break down of parts (was previously missing the lower grill trim thats black on the ED35 and pearl grey on the normal GTI): -

Lower Spoiier = 5K0 807 110 B 041 @ £73.14
Bumper Cover = 5K0 807 217 CK GRU @ £324.11
Closing Element Left = 5K0 807 611 = £27.58
Closing Element Right = 5K0 807 612 = £27.58
Lower Grill Trim Black = 5K0 853 611 G 041 = £106.15

My prices haven't been updated for a while so might be a bit off.

So as Kenny said not cheap

thanks folks - yeah, quick looks shows a couple broken mounting brackets too 
That pricing is actually not too bad, I suspect I will be coughing up quite a bit more to buy from the local stealers.
Wonder what the 'closing elements' are?

Is that bumper skin part number for the PDC or non PDC version Steve?

Surely your insurance excess isn't that much? By the time you've added £200 on for paint, that is.

I'd be taking it to my bodyshop of choice and getting him to mistakenly order the "wrong" bumper.

Ha ha, or just loot the place for parts, plenty of practice this year by the English!
