Is that golf bumper hard to fit or is it a straight fit ?

Not sure if this post is still being watched, but was it difficult to fit the Golf bumper? My van is the same colour and would love to do the same, it looks mint!

Van looks amazing!
Was wondering... is the bumper a straight swap or is there some butchering involved?

Re: Golf GTi mk 7 front bumper conversion
There is a considerable amount of work involved getting the these bumpers to fit, they need cut up and plastic welded onto the stock Caddy upper section. Many hours work of work to get them right.

The van is second to none. Seeing it in the flesh blew me away. It looks like it came out and f the showroom like that. And the way it sounds is awesome. Makes me want to drop an r32 lump in.
