When I got my 13 GTI the bumper was popped a little bit near the headlights. I figured it would be an easy fix but it has turned out to be a nightmare. I took it off and realized the mounting bracket had a few broken clips so I ordered new ones. Also had to order the bottom headlight parts because I couldn’t get it unscrewed from the bumper brackets. Bumper still isn’t popping in right. The tabs on the bumper are starting to get pretty worn from me trying so many times. I went to look around at others to see it there are issues and a lot of other GTIs have the same problem. What a terrible design. Has anyone figured out another way to get the bumper to line up in that area? If I could get the headlights off without taking off the bumper then I could at least get my hand in there and try to get it to pop into place. I’m about to throw a Sheetrock screw through it and call it good. What a pain in the ass. Believe me the next time I’m buying a car I’m going to make sure that area is straight and doesn’t curve around headlights. I love the car but I’m pretty picky about appearance and having one with a jacked up bumper is driving me nuts. I was thinking about buying a mk8 gti or even a golf r when they come out. Believe me I’m going to make sure this isn’t an issue before I even consider one. Figured a lot of people here have had to take the bumper off for mods so let me know if you have come up with some solution to this. Other then this issue the car has been a blast to drive and tuning is coming within the next month or so. Thanks in advance.
