I work for JK Autospares, and have the only 1 of these bumper in the UK on my Polo, although the car was never actually finnished and has sat in a shed for the past year or more doing nothin, lol, here is a pic:

I was unsure about the bumper myself and it didnt look like it sat right, but once I put the bad-boy bonnet extension on I think it made it look alot better, kinda like the newer A3 I think.

One thing I can say about Dietrich Bumpers is that they are a really good fit, and the quality and thinkness of the fiberglass is really good.

The bad point with these bumpers is that they take Mk7 Polo GTI Grille bits and spots, ya cant just throw some mesh in or it would be stupid, I think the quote I got from Issac Agnew VW in Belfast was about £180 + VAT for the lot! :(

TBH I can see why there's only one of these in the UK, they ruin the lines of the mark5! Although, it's not the worst aftermarket kit out there.
