    Yes. The bottom two bolts are behind the bumper. It is extreamly easy to remove the bumper, only takes like 5 minutes tops. I've taken mine off multiple times, let me know if you would like some help

    Most people who have owned a mk4 long enough can take off the bumper in less than 5 minutes, maybe even faster

    I can have mine off in 5 minutes or less. It's really easy if you have the Torx drivers.

    Mine comes off every time I pull into the driveway. I can have the bumper off in less than a minute.

    Mine is only held on with 4 bolts, so mine comes off in about 20 seconds. Makes everything easy
