Veero 1 Posted April 15, 2009 Really quick question. Are base model bumpers the same as GTi ones except lacking the holes for the trim clips and holes at the ends for the arch trim to go through? Thanks Veero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,623 Posted April 15, 2009 essentially yes, the length of the section with the holes is a little different too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve@cornwall 100 Posted April 15, 2009 Trim off the flat part of the ends, drill / shape the holes and your base bumper is GTi 'd (I have done this a couple of times, can't tell the difference) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veero 1 Posted April 16, 2009 Sweet, I will go and get a base model one then as there's loads about! Cheers guys. Veero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veero 1 Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) Right trimmed the ends to clear the arch trim and drilled all the holes. It's not a perfect fit, but looking at it you wouldn't know it's a base model. I assume it's not quite right because it's probably a slightly shoddy (but brand new for £30!) aftermarket one and the holes for the valance bolts didn't line up leading to and ever so slight twist. Still it looks a million times better than the old cracked one. Edited April 16, 2009 by Veero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
