it took about a day and a half to fit the bumper but it was wroth it. It wasnt a straight forward job the exhaust wouldnt come trough the mest i ended up having to chop about 50mm off the exhaust. Once the exhaust was chopped and fitted bck on the rest was easy.

Hey, I was wondering how hard is it to take the rear bumper off? Whereabouts are the bolts located? Thanks in advance

It looks pretty phat, not too sure about the mud flaps if that is what I see. Its now a stealth appearance sports exhaust then lol

you got to open the boot and there is two big screws on either side then you have to take off the mud flaps once off take out some screws from archs and it just pulls off

I've removed one from a mk4 8v before and it took a lot of force to pull it off the locating bits, thought I was going to brake it.

so far there is no sign of melting or blacken if i remember rightly the end of the exhaust is about 40mm back from the bumper

Hmm, I'd be a little bit concerned about only a 40mm tolerance from the exhaust, but oh well.

Have you got anything on the front end to match?
