Dry fit the lip and check the gap at both ends before you drill anything — a bumper that has been off the car before rarely sits square.

Screws only, no tape — it holds in the cold and it comes off cleanly if you ever sell the car standard. Dry fit before you drill: a bumper that has been off the car before rarely sits square, and the gap you set on the bench is the gap you get on the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it won't do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not aerodynamic.

The lip sits below the bumper; a scuff above it still shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not injection-moulded ABS. Vacuum-formed plastic is lighter and more forgiving on impact, but it is thinner, and it is not a structural part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the Golf Mk7 GTI front lip fit the Golf Mk7.5 GTI?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The Golf Mk7.5 GTI is a different moulding, listed separately. Check the fitment table above before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Golf Mk7 GTI front lip need painting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It is supplied in gloss black and goes straight on the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you have to drill the bumper to fit a front lip?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — small pilot holes in the plastic underside of the bumper, never in bodywork or paint. The screws are hidden behind the lip once it is on. No tape is used, so the lip can be removed and refitted cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it survive speed bumps?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn a standard-height Golf Mk7 GTI, yes. On coilovers at fully dropped it will make contact — approach at an angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between V1 and V2?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eV1 sits tighter to the bumper; V2 projects further forward.
