Are you looking some one to do it or asking how to do it?

Take it to a body shop and get them to do it. It needs about an inch each side cut out. Theres pictures in my build thread of the one I did.

Heres where we cut mines. You will also need to make new holes in the bumper for the strip to clip into as the US bumper has more.





And heres how much we had to extend a Euro Anni valance to fit a US bumper

You won't get a better price than VW for a genuine strip.
