Do big bumper golfs have a valance underneath? Small bumpers, single lights and no skirts or side trim would look good. If you are going to "CL" it then go the whole hog.

If memory serves, the main bumper bolts hold the subframe which to engine is mounted to in place so you need to support it before pulling the bolts. 99.9% certain that you'll find a standard Golf front Valence behind the big bumper. Nice car by the way. |

yeh it will work like - check this funk machine out!  when you takethe front bumper off just stick a jack under the engine to take the weight and unbolt it normally - replace the bumper - let the engine down. |
