Its about 45quid i belief but you will need to trim it to fit a uk mk4 bumper. Or buy a US front bumper.

if your on about it didnt work in etka its not in the usual place of etka i cant remember were it is ill try find it though, remember quite a few people wanting them and the dealers not being able to find them on etka.

and yeah he ment trim, us spec bumper is bigger due to there laws over there so you will need to cut it down.
