I dont think its possible without a lot of chopping.
The headlights, grille, wing fitting, etc would be all different...
Im sure some of the hands on people will be able to tell you in more detail.

yup its molded differently, and at the end of the day it would be a waste of resources trying to fit a mk5 bumper to a mk4, you may aswell get an RS mk4 front bumper because they are similiar in style and alot less hassle to fit!

Some guy on this site, cant remember who off the top of my head now, had a front bumper which was a cross between the Mk5 bumper and the Mk4 8V bumper.
My fave bumper so far.

Yeah, the smoother curvier lines make it nicer than the Mk5 bumper.

agreed that silver mk4 with the mk5 front bumper looks class
