Front Bumper Options for Mk4 Golf
« on: 12 September 2007, 00:01 »
Hi,

I have just bought a Mk4 Golf GTI 1.8T (2000).  I think it looks a little standard and like the R32 kit, but am not so sure about the front bumper.  What other 'sportier' bumper options are there that are relatively subtle?

Also, if I bought the R32 rear bumper, I presume I would need to change the exhaust to twin outlets - has anybody done this and if so, how much did it cost?

Many thanks,

Chris

There are many bodykit options out there! Just Google "Golf Mk4 Styling" and loads will come up!

One good company I found was STX.

I really like to anni front bumber (or body kit for that matter). Only problem with getting the R32 / anni body kit is that (in my opinion) you look a little silly as your "trying" to be an anni / R32 model when your CLEARLY not. I think if your going to get a body kit, get something that isnt on another Golf model.

Thats my view anyways.

Good luck!

Yep, I agree with Topher - colour code the valances. Cant get much more subtle than that. This is what I'm planning to do - replace the standard valances and get them sprayed.

What sort of money are we talking to spray current valances with all the sanding down and painting etc?
