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.

Leave the protective film on until the last screw is in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOr bring it to us — we fit these in Portadown and warrant the fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStraight from us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe fit these in the unit in Portadown. 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. At this price nothing generates downforce and we are not going to pretend otherwise — this is a styling part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will not hide a damaged bumper. 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 Polo Mk5 front lip fit the Polo Mk6 GTI?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The Polo Mk6 GTI is a different moulding, listed separately. Check the fitment table above before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Polo Mk5 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 Polo Mk5, yes.
