So I’ve just seen a caddy with a GTI front bumper and it got me thinking, is that a straight swap or what and if that fits what else does?!?
Dose anyone know what’s what ?
Front bumper swap?

Not straight swap mate it’s something that has been custom made

Re: Front bumper swap?
You’d have to get something custom made mate. Top half of a caddy bumper, bottom half of whatever takes your fancy. Have a look through some build threads, see what you like, and where it was purchased from. You’ll be skint in no time

You need indeed 2 bumpers to create one to fit a caddy.

RKdesigns did you do a over lap joint or a butt joint then smooth on the bumpers mate.

Cutted both bumpers. With hot staples connected them first. Via the back Plastic welded them together and in front spread it out. First time I ever did it but it worked well. No overlap of plastic at all.
