French Gti searching for front Bumper Infos ^^

[plex]

Hello Community

I'm french and actually searching for informations about Us front bumper on Gti for my white Edition 30. On this board, I was falling in love with this one with orange night-light. In Europe, we don't have this option and I'd like to mode my fast :wub:

My front Gti

Researched mode ^^

Is there anyone who can help me.
Can anyone tell me the VW part number for the bumper and the lights please ?

Have a nice day
Plexou from France ^^:thumbsup:

wow, here in the US, everyone gets all hot about removing the "night light" with either a color matched marker or by "shaving" it off.

I'm sure someone would love to trade, but shipping bumpers back and forth to France may get spendy...

dont do it. we pay alot of money here to delete that orange annoyance.

It's common for Euro guys to pay for the stuff we pay to get rid of.

Funny.We work to dump em and they want em.

lol... I paid a grand to have my bumper shaved to get rid of bump strips and side markers! I later found out that I should have just sold my bumper and ordered a EU version and it would have been more cost effective.

Its a turn signal thing. "Side Markers".

I'm sure you could find a way to wire it.
But a shop will charge you an arm and a leg to cut out those stupid holes.

Try finding a US spec front bumper?? Ebay??

IMO your car looks cleaner without it. Scroll down: http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Golf_V--2.0T/Lighting/Side_Markers/

IMO they have no practical use either. MKIV's had them because there was none on the side of the car so it made sense. MKV's have them mounted on the mirrors and are visible from the sides so there is no point having extra markers on the front bumper. Actually, mirror markers are even better because they stick out too. But, if you like them what can we say. I would have so removed them if I lived in US. Put a marker on the roof, that way birds won't poop on it.

I understand that want to look different. On my old mk2 I shaved the oem markers off and relocated a different shaped clear marker above the arch to the right. IIRC it took me hundreds of $$ and hours upon hours to finish the job.
