That front bumper comes off a Jetta TDI Cup race car. It's also called the MKV Thunder Bunny Front Bumper.

Apparently it is available through dealers overseas. This shop also has it:

Can that be bought new as a part from VW America? I remember seeing some tuning company demos running them (1552v2 had one I think).

I've not done enough research but to be 100% honest, if I had a MKV I'd be all over this!!!!!!!

i just cant warm to it... it doesnt flow to me...

[STOIE]

Thats the one!

I was looking at pics of this a few weeks back, decided that the one I want to get, but couldn't find it again to get the name!!!!

YAY its back, the thunder bunny is coming home!

[Frenchie]

[Frenchie]

[STOIE]

Thats the one French!

Thats the exact photo I fell in love with whats the link to those forum posts...?

[Frenchie]

Don't have link but know it was on Vortex....try google vortex thunder bunny kit...

[Justin Fox]

Looks like it works better on darker colours, more subtle. Either way you look at it, it's DAMN AGGRESSIVE!!!

[Frenchie]

Without being biased it looks best on a UG :) but this car in pic pulled it off with wheels and stance,
I've got the rest of his photos at home but it'll have to wait...no home internet

- Needs more window tinting to complete the look.
- Can you modify to fit headlight washers for the xenons?
- BMX bike on the roof rack needs tassles on the handlebars

More detailed look at the fitment, which looks perfect, look at the tight fit lines!

[Frenchie]

Could this be a new purchase :)

Build the car for you, sod everyone else! I reckon it looks great, aggressive without being garish. Weirdly I'm not a fan of the GTI mesh grille on the Mk5, so anything that brings back the recognisable grille slats back onto a GTI is good for me.

I wonder if anyone in the US have attempted a badgeless front for it... would be super-clean I reckon.

A little cheaper - http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Golf_V--2.0T/Exterior/Body/ES250795/

Plus, ECS is a sponsor of VWW forums... if you're on there and serious about getting the bumper, you could probably find yourself getting a decent bargain with shipping too.

Vortex can also produce some goodies, though seller honesty can sometimes be questionable there - http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4466541. Also, stated in another thread (http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4506141), 1stvwparts.com have them at wholesale price, but they don't advertise it on the website, have to call them up or email I guess?

[Justin Fox]

So aggressive. I would love to whack one of these on a MKV Comfortline!
