    Title says it all. Just wanted your guys opinions on shops to take my car to have a euro R32 front bumper installed on a mkiv gti, and color matched in the Olympia area.

    From what I've been reading it sounds like it's going to take some modification to get the bumper to sit right since it's euro and also not OEM.

    Thanks for all if your guys input in advance.

    If it requires modification to mount, most flat rate based collision shops will turn you away. A custom shop would be your best bet for a quality fit.
