7,5 R look on the 7 R

Hi guys who has tried fitting the 7,5 R front bumper on the 7R. Is it a straight fit ?? Alternatively does the clubsport front bumper fit on the 7R

I read a post from a user that works at VW and he stated the front fenders and headlights are reshaped as well.

I'm just guessing here, but I bet any differences in the front fenders is wholly around the headlight surrounds, and exactly the same along the junction with the bumpers.

I doubt it will. This is based off the a post that was made in regards to retrofitting the new FL headlights to the MK7, here is a picture of the result of trying. I'm pretty sure you'd have to get the new headlights as well, as they are longer based off this picture.

Hope this helps.

^ the bumper is sitting on the wheel.

So far the ETKA doesn't list separate fender numbers.

However until someone buys and try's we won't know for sure.

The Clubsport bumper would fit on the 7R:

I believe you'll need new headlights and fenders. Why pay thousands in parts and paint? You'll wind up getting less for the car when you sell it than leaving it stock.
