[Branman]

I was looking at getting a euro front lip on my mk5 gti but i need to know if it will fit on my us spec gti??? If anyone has any info please let me know. Thanks

Why wouldn't it? Except for the higher ride height the euro and US mk5 GTI are indentical for the exterior sizes

It's not uncommon for Euro body parts to not fit US spec cars. There are often subtle differences, especially in the bumpers, that could require some modifications to get the Euro parts to fit properly.

Bringing this back to life....does the rear EURO bumpers fit or do I need to modify it?

You need both the upper and lower halfs because the license plate cutout is a different size. Otherwise, it fits.

it works

It works but you need to cut about 8, 1"-1.5" slots to make the eurolip fit on to the "stock" lip.

That's only if you buy the lower insert and modify your stock US lip so it fits. Most people buy the whole lip assembly.

Anyone in the U.S. sell just the lower insert?

It's a ROW only part. US dealers don't have access to them.

I picked up the whole lip assembly from oemplus. I think TMTuning will sell just the extra piece, but you might as well just get the whole thing.

TM tuning = europe, Not shipping a piece of plastic half way around the world.
