The only upgrades available that are bolt on are to Highline/Touran where the grill is seperate and the bumper is colour coded. All the GTi/R versions you see are completely custom where two halves of different bumpers are plastic welded and smoothed and cost more than most people are prepared to pay.

GTE vans do a GTI mk6 style bumper that fits into the caddy, but having never seen one in person I can't vouch for the fit or finish.

As dan@biali said, not just a straight forward swap over. Requires 2x bumpers cutting, plastic welding filling etc
