Hi everyone; long time; hope all is well.
Someone hit into the left side edge of my front bumper, perpendicularly, as shown as follows:
https://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=816753&d=1536106657
2017 Passat SEL, but thinking to have the R-Line front bumper installed.
It is an easy swap or is more than just a different bumper cover involved? Anyone have a parts list for what would be needed (different than what’s on the SEL)?
Also, for those who’ve completed the swap; what did you do with your fog lights, tape up the wiring? Any error lights? Any option to keep the fog lights with the R-Line bumper; something OEM without modifying parts?
Last, is the only difference at the rear between the SEL and the R-Line the rear bumper diffuser or is the bumper cover different too? If just the diffuser, anyone have the part number for that as well?
Would like to paint the chrome trim at the lower portion of the doors and rear bumper, but not sure if they easily unclip or if removing them might cause damage and new trim would be needed. :|
Thank you very much!
