Hi mate remove the bumper and get a mate to help you the key to fitting these mk4 bumpers is to slides the sides of the bumper in the the slider brackets 1st and then put the the screws in at the top it should fit perfect then
@@clifton1989 I honestly appreciate the good and helpful advice. I will do an update video on it once I get it fitted better. I will be happy once its on and looking sweet.
Hey man, just tried out your advice and the bumper fits perfectly now. Thanks for helping me, the bumper fits so well now. I cant believe I thought it was that bad of a replica. I always welcome helpful people like yourself to comment 👍🏽
On the back of the emblem there are two threaded studs that you slot through to the other side if the grille, then there are two brackets that slide onto those studs followed by nuts. The brackets you put on behind the grille stop the emblem falling off. Does that make sense? Tried my best Hahaha!
I just tried to find it now. The seller is currently away on Ebay but I have copied the link to their Ebay shop. Just give them a message and see if they respond. www.ebay.co.uk/str/lothianautoparts01506811367
@@SPOOLINUP no im from the netherlands. indeed the LB5N is seen much but isnt the indigo blue a rare colour? or i must be mistaken with the colour i have in my mind. i have seen a colour its like blue and navyblue on a r32 once in a lifetime and i thought it was named indigo.
@@SPOOLINUP Yes correct. I have seen a picture of an R32 with the color indigo blue, which is lighter in the sun than in the shade. I think that confused me. I go for the Indigo blue on my car, I don't know when but I think this color is very brilliant and beautiful after washing
@@kxczilla7665 I searched for ages to find a second hand R32 bumper in indigo blue and it was impossible so bought a replica one. I washed the car the other day and it literally looked amazing dry or wet it is just lovely. I'm glad you agree 👍🏽
@@SPOOLINUP me to currently trying to do that with mine and same bumper but trying to get it behind the crash bar , looking at taking out air con rad , but tbh I didn’t do the pipe work so I’m just working around it but let me know how you get on any tips would help
I know there are people out there that make custom piping or you can get it made to fit. I am probably going to buy an airtec kit which comes to fit behind the bumper.
@@SPOOLINUP I'm building a gti on a budget also , your videos are inspiring me to do more , atm I'm looking for a decent exhaust system , is there any advise you can give me bro for a exhaust on a budget???
Sweet mate sounds wicked! That was my plan mate to buy a Gti for under £1000 and have a budget toy. I woukd say exhaust on a budget....just find a second hand one on facebook maybe mate that might be your best bet!! Thank you also man im glad you have been inspired and enjoy the videos. Good luck to you with that motor 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
@@cozzie6777 Thats ok mate, no problem at all and thanks for your comment. I was unsure of what you were trying to say, do you mean the video looks stretched? I have a second part to thr video where it actually fits properly.

Where did you buy this one, I am looking for a good one and telling from the comments I see you got it to fit well.
I bought it from ebay mate, im pretty sure they have gone up in price now, they used to be cheap.
where did you get it? I want to buy one
I bought it from ebay. I can send you a link to their shop/ebay page.
How does the GTI emblem mount on the grille?
On the back of the emblem there are two threaded studs that you slot through to the other side if the grille, then there are two brackets that slide onto those studs followed by nuts. The brackets you put on behind the grille stop the emblem falling off. Does that make sense? Tried my best Hahaha!
What a transformation mate!
Thanks man, not perfect but I will get there. Trail and error.
Do you have a link to the spacer plates for inside the wheel arches please mate?
classic.heritagepartscentre.com
Try part number 1J0806570 for one side and 1J0806569 for the other side. You might have to call them.
can you please send me the link for the bumper?

is this the Indigo blue colour that is rare on a mk4?
whats the colour code name of it.
Hey, I dont think this is a rare colour as I've seen plenty. Are you from the UK? The colour paint code is LB5N but yes it is Indigo Blue
@@SPOOLINUP no im from the netherlands. indeed the LB5N is seen much but isnt the indigo blue a rare colour? or i must be mistaken with the colour i have in my mind. i have seen a colour its like blue and navyblue on a r32 once in a lifetime and i thought it was named indigo.
I think that indigo blue is rare on an R32, ive never seen one in person, most are reflex silver or deep blue but it is a nice colour either way!
@@SPOOLINUP Yes correct. I have seen a picture of an R32 with the color indigo blue, which is lighter in the sun than in the shade. I think that confused me. I go for the Indigo blue on my car, I don't know when but I think this color is very brilliant and beautiful after washing
