I could not find any DIYs on this, so here is one I put together when I did it.

  • I honestly do not have a lot of experience with the 1.4L MkV as they are not available here, but I would think not.

  • does anyone know if i can fit a standard gti bumpers on a standard 1.4 mkV

  • @mu5t11 - I had the same problem once before, it may just be the clips are not aligning correctly.

  • Some things I thought that made the removal easier are to put it on jack stands first and take off the front tire. Also It is a lot easier to disconnect the washer fluid hose coming out of the reservoir and drain it in a bucket.

  • i took it off and now it wont go back on :S

  • Thanks a lot!

  • a lot of people dont have a basic tool set , therefore they can't remove the bumper , i know you can buy a toolkit cheap as chips but some people are just too stupid to realise how easy it is. i mainly work on ford/peugeot/vauxhall but i have found most other cars are similar in terms of fixings. I will take the headlight and bumper off my golf this weekend but i dont know how to turn my photos into youtube videos ? You coming back to Uk anytime soon ?

  • You are not wrong. Luckily I have all three. hehe! Also, you do not need that many tools to take off the bumper (or most things on this car for that matter). All you need is a basic tool set.

  • you need 3 things: COMMON SENSE - why is this held on ? what holds it on ? TOOLS - most people don't have all the tools to remove the bumper COURAGE - most people don't have the the courage to 'dismantle' their £10+ car , they are not trained in mechanics so its easier for them to pay someone else

  • It is really really easy. I spent forever looking for a DIY to do it because I was worried about doing it myself... but could not find one (which is why I made one)... As long as you have common sense, its simple.
