It's custom made. I don't think you can get the surround for it unlike the Golf's as the bumper is just all one piece.

Yeah it's a decal. Looks a feels like it though :) All I need to do now is laminate it and it will look like the proper stuff. Altogether it's gonna cost me £300+ Had a quote on the proper stuff and it was £500

£195 to get it all on with the shape moulded and stuff. And then I need to get it laminated... Maybe around another £80. Dear stuff, but like you said yours is already black so it's not much of a difference there, where as mine was all reflex silver and made such a difference.
