Thank you so much for your reply. Ive again been at VW here who almost refuse to tell me if it will fit. They just deny any knowledge.@Pavlos
I talked with friends from Germany about bumper swap.
If you have FL - Only FL bumper will fit
If you have preFL - Only preFL will fit
I recently swapped one bumper it was MK7 Variant ( It have the same bumper as Hatch)
And the GTI bumper from another car was a direct swap but you need the full bumper. Even the lower lip.
You can also fit "R-LINE" bumper (European market) i dont know it you have that spec do not confuze it with "R".
For the R bumper to fit you will need much more to do.
When you say the bottom lip, do you mean the skid tray/retainer? I plan to buy the whole bumper anyway, but just wanted to check.
Also, I assume that it fits on to the carrier and bumper beam of the standard model too/they are the same?
Are you aware of the wheel arch/ wheel housing fittings? are these the same?
Thanks You.
