So I have decided to turn my 2009 MK6 2.0 TDI to R (on the outside at first). I have just received the front bumper and I was trying to test fit it on the car before painting it and I quickly ran into an issue. Not sure if this is right or not but I think that the front valance (lip spoiler) under the bumper is not the correct one since I've been trying and trying to fit it to the car & bumper.
What is even more confusing is that the lip spoiler that came with the bumper SHOULD fit even if the bumper is from R model since the exactly the same lip is used on GTI/GTD bumpers. Anyone has any idea on how to fit this? I have some images here on what do I mean exactly.
So here's the car with the bumper installed..
And here's the lip spoiler that came with the bumper..
A closer look at the end of the lip..
And here's the original lip from the original bumper..
Am I doing something wrong? Or how exactly does this really fit under my car when the screw holes are not aligned and there's a "step" at the end of the "new" lip and there's no "ears" where the plastic from the wheel arch should screw in.. :iono::iono::iono:
