Front bumper ETKA question

[Mattyj]

Don't bother i'm obviously speaking alien

[dubber36]

No, please explain what you were trying to tell me. I'm very hard of understanding.

As far as I know all the bumpers have the cutouts whether there are washers fitted or not.

All Bluemotion bumpers Mike?

Actually not sure now, just read your first post again and you say your GT didn't have them, maybe as you also said the GTI/GTD bumper has the cutouts.
Is the bluemotion bumper the same as the ED35 bumper, maybe the cutouts are always on them as well.

[dubber36]

The Bluemotion has the same flared bits at the bottom as the ED35, but the grilles and foglight apertures  are the same as S/SE/Match/GT's.

ETKA lists 19 different front bumper covers for the MK6 golf

Dubber36, link below is to a mk6 Golf price list from 2011, which includes details of spec and options for each model.

I know that VW brochures aren't renowned for their accuracy of content, but the spec for the mk6 Bluemotion model doesn't include headlamp washers as standard, headlamp washers weren't available as a stand-alone option (only as part of the winter pack) and the winter pack wasn't an option on the Bluemotion model. So I'm concluding that no Bluemotion models had headlamp washers, even though the front bumper seems to suggest otherwise.

I've had a quick look at mk6 Bluemotion Golfs on Motors.co.uk and all the photos show the headlamp washer cut-outs. GT and Match models with Bluemotion technology don't have the headlamp washer customer-outs, unless these have been specc'd with the optional winter pack, but these models don't have the Bluemotion model-specific front bumper.

19???

Apart from the obvious, S-GT spec, with or without fog lights/washers, Bluemotion, GTI/D, ED35, .:R, what other differences can there be? Are diesel engined cars different to petrol to accommodate different intercoolers?

This is looking like it's going to be more bother than it's worth, because as we all know, VW will be no help at all. If a part doesn't match the chassis number, their computer says no and that's an end to it.

I'm guessing different bumper skins for headlight washers/no headlight washers.
Different again for front parking sensors (holes on the front)...both with/without headlight washers.
Didderent again for Park Assist (holes front and side)...both with/without headlight washers.

So there's standard Golf with/without headlight washers/parking sensors/park assist.
Then there's GTI/GTD with/without headlight washers/parking sensors/park assist...
R with/without headlight washers/parking sensors/park assist...
Not forgetting Ed35 with/without headlight washers/parking sensors/park assist...
And Bluemotion if it's different again.

Oh yeah, I forgot about parking sensors.

So back to my original question, out of the 19, is one of them a Bluemotion without washer and parking sensor holes?

Confusing or what!  It would be less hassle to buy a new car.
