To Me that is a must do.... But it means you need new arches as well as the side trim...

Jay,

The wing brackets you have are genuine items, the bumper brackets do not look genuine VW ones.

The bumpers brackets from VW look like these; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280882131008

Whats the metal bit then Ken?
So if I order a different bracket they all should fit right?
Thats whats troubling me the brackets dont look like any other brackets for sale?

I recon that the bumper brackets that you have are from non genuine ones, i've never seen ones like that before...

Does this bumper have a mould line down the black textured part at the corner?
