    Can you replace just the front lip on a MK4?

    Hey boys & girls,

    Need to sell my MK3, & am looking at replacing it with a MK4, going to look at one this week that doesn't have the black front lip from the bumper.

    Question is...can the lip be replaced on it's own (like on a MK3) or is a full bumper replacement required? Need to factor into the negotiations.

    what is a lip worth? or what is a bumper worth (from wreckers) if anyone has been down the same path.

    Thanks heaps.

    Brendan

    Can you replace just the front lip on a MK4?

    My car originally came without one from the previous owner and I purchased one off eBay
    I then got it painted with the stock rear valance aswel
    Here's a picture of my car with the lip
    Ps you can buy the lip from me with my car included in the price
