Is it glass or poly? Just wondering, at that price I could buy both the front and rear, pay for shipping and still come in under what it would cost for just the front bumper anywhere else sans shipping.

So, this kit has holes for both regular Turn Signals, and Turbo S Turn Signals why? Too bad you aren't selling a version without TS Turn signals + fogs, I'd buy that.

There is at least one Org member that I know of that found a VW dealer where he lived, that sold this part for the same price and you could pick it up. No shipping

The dealer is only a couple hour drive from em. If I had the $ I'd go pick up the parts myself

Do the turn signals really stick out as much like the yellow bug in the pic icemoc posted? If so I'm going to paint mine like the pic MiG posted. Taking bumper to the painter this weekend.

I believe those are made by Caractere, I'll check with the parts guys to see if we have a source for them.

I've always loved that front bumper. Super jealous of everyone who gets this, esp at that price!

Yes, the turn signal housing sticks out. I'd love to find a way to keep the turn signal without that black plastic housing.

The pictures MIG posted are from the Votex bumper sold in Europe, it doesn't have the cutouts that we have in N/A. In any case you'll have to shave the bumpers.

I'm still looking for some donor bumper pieces to fill the turn signal openings....

I personally like the way the banana lights look on the yellow car. *shrug*

If one was to night shade them it would give it a base ball or foot ball player with the dark line under their eyes
