I got the bulk of the parts today. (Sorry if you were hoping for pictures of the actual swap
)
Here's what's left:
Fog light bulbs (probably going with PIAA yellows—I actually live in a place that gets dense fog, so the yellow is functional)
Fog light harness (waiting to hear back from Kufatec on a harness with H8 connectors, rather than HB4 connectors).
Highline CECM (going this route because OEM HIDs are the next step).
Paint—bumper needs to be painted; I'll have the turn signals color matched as well.
There is one other bit of info I need; I need to find out for certain if the washer fluid tank needs to be swapped for a GTI version. On another forum, this swap was done (Golf got a GTD front-end) and this was indicated as being necessary, but I think it may have to do with hooking up the headlight washers (it was a European car) rather than being an issue of physically clearing/fitting.
I do plan on a euro-lip, but not sure I'll do it immediately. I haven't ruled out going with the OSIR Carbon Fiber euro-lip; either way a euro lip will probably be on my Christmas list.
