Difference of 6R rear bumpers

Post by Pave »

Hi!

I´m planning to upgrade my 1.2 tsi rear bumper with either gti or r-line model rear bumper.

I have searched used ones, mainly from ebay and wonder what are the main differences at look about those two models??

I noticed that gti bumper has those reflectors and license plate area is slightly different.

Is there any more differences.... many used part which are for sale doesn´t have diffuser so I haven´t seen differences of diffuser clearly.

Any picture or link which both are seen together are more than welcome!

Thanks in advance!

Do the gti or rline bumpers fit a polo 6r because I'm hoping to do the same in order to fit a tail pipe

Yes, all 6R bumpers are exchangeable within the 6R. Same goes for the 6C.
6C bumpers need 6C bumper carriers below the tail lights. When fitting a 6R bumper to 6C or vice versa, change these carriers.

Thank you! Does the same go for the diffusers because I only really want to change the lower part to allow a tail pipe to be fitted
