|  Octavia Front Bumper Replacement I have a 2003 Octavia Ambiente TDI - 90BHP. I need to replace the front bumper as it got damaged in a small accident. I need to know if it is possible to fit without modifications a vRS bumper. 1) Is it a straight fit? 2) Will the front underside of the bumper sit closer to the ground with a vRS bumper? 3) What about the holes for the headlamp washers? I don't have them on my TDI and I don't want the cut-outs to be seen if the vRS bumper will fit on my TDI Any help is greatly appreciated as always. Thanks GT |

| I believe its a straight swap, I have seen several standard octys with vrs bumper. there is no difference in ground clearence on a standard octy. what you get is the squarer front end, so just watch out for higher kerbs.

| Piece of cake to fit, about 10-12 star bolts and 4 10mm bolts IIRC

| There are 2 versions of the vRS bumper cover - one for headlamp washers and one without - just order the one you want. I'm not sure if the molding strip and grill sections from you old bumper will fit the vRS one , but if they do that will save you quite a few quid.
