Ok, so we know that the new GLI lip fits right up to a golf Euro bumper(german)... but of course no one has one in stock, so does any one know if the bottom countour of the italian bumper is different than said german bumper...

i <3 you all (except ryan)

Call Bill (Brenhaus) at YBH VW 610-356-3493 and check to see if they have it in stock.

another intresting thing someone did was cut the ends of the stock us black valence and moldedn them to the end of gli lip so it would be long enough....

Off of the Vortex...got my German Eurobumper and Euro rub strip for $220....not a bad deal. But it was a private seller.

I know Oldskool Industries here in Jersey carries the German Euro bumpers....

Italian parts usually don't fit all that great...or at least not for me.

I don't know of anyone who's put a US GLI front valence on a Golf euro bumper(german or italian), but it should fit. The 4motion front valence is a direct fit on either a US Jetta or Euro Golf front bumper, so common sense dictates the GLI valence should fit as well.

Sorry, North American VW dealers are not permitted to order/sell parts that comply with european safety standards. I can't even look `em up on ETKA.

Josh I got pictures at home and I will post them when I get out of work. Basicaly you can use your US spec bumper if you plan to mold it in . I have been contiplating this mod for a while now. The GLI lip will bolt up but it hangs a little in the wrong spots. By using plastic filler you can set it up to look awsome. Beleave me when you see the pics you will agree. The guys Name is deisle power if you want to do a search on the net .Not sure But I think he's on the TDI forum
