Scirocco R Bodykit fitting tutorial
This tutorial will walk you through the steps of fitting the complete Scirocco R bodykit. This includes:
• Front Bumper
• Side skirts
• Rear Bumper
I have listed all the parts that I have used in the process but note that there may be other parts that can also be used that I may have missed out. Where possible I have also listed part numbers but some may be missing.
I’ve broken this tutorial down into three separate sections for each part of the modification.
Front Bumper

*** BEFORE YOU START ***
The front bumper can’t simply be swapped with the standard one without taking into consideration a few key points:
1. The standard trim between the headlights won’t fit, so you will need to upgrade this to the R version as well.
2. Your existing sidelights won’t fit in the place where the Scirocco R running lights go (They're a different shape).
3. If you simple do away with the standard light housings in favour of the Scirocco R LED running lights you will need to come up with another solution for your front indicators (possible solutions are listed at the end of the tutorial.
4. Got Fog Lights? - Once you remove them you will get a bulb out error in your dash. You will need VAGCOM to tell the car that Fog Lights aren't fitted in order to remove this error.
PARTS REQUIRED:
1K8 807 221 K (Bumper Cover for vehicles with headlight washer system)
1K8 955 109 C (headlight washer cover)
1K8 955 110 C (headlight washer cover)
1K8 853 677 A (bottom centre vent grill)
1K8 854 661 (left bottom vent grill)
1K8 854 662 (right bottom vent grill)
1K8 807 241B GRU (Tow hook cover)
All of the above can be built up prior to fitting to the car. Note you may need to cut the washer covers and glue them in place if you don’t have washers.
1K8 853 761 C (decorative frame â€" bit between headlights)
1K8 853 653 B (radiator grill â€" above part clips on to this)
These clip together and are fitted between the headlights.
1K8 805 903 C (spoiler)
1K8 805 733 (retainer for spoiler lock carrier â€" left)
1K8 805 734 (retainer for spoiler lock carrier â€" right)
1K8 805 915 B (support element spoiler)
These parts are fitted to underneath of the car to give the bottom of the new bumper something to clip into.
OPTIONAL â€" LED DRLs
1K8 941 055 (LED daylights â€" left)
1K8 941 056 (LED daylights â€" right)
Method
First undo the screws at the top of the bit between the headlights. Then take off the fog light trims and discount these (if applicable) and the sidelight/indicator units. Now remove the front bumper by unding the series of screws inside the front wheel arch, along the bottom underneath and along the top. Once these are all out it simply unclips from one side. Pretty self explanatory. I removed the headlights as well but I don’t think you really need to. Now undo the rest of the screws to remove the centre grill between the headlights. There is a retaining section between them that you won’t need any more. You’ll know the part that I’m talking about when you try to fit the new R bits and they won’t go in as they foul against this section. I just removed it altogether and didn’t replace it with anything.

Now just fit the bits that go between the headlights followed by the parts that go underneath for the new bumper to clip into. This really is quite easy to work out once you have all the bits in front of you so I’m not going to go into a step by step.
Once you’ve done that the R bumper will go on much the same way that the standard bumper came off.
Possible Indicator solutions
1. Do you have Xenon headlights? If so you may be able to swap your existing DRLs for indicators. I think that Fiscon do a kit for this but I don’t know an awful lot about it.
2. Modify the bumper inserts to fit in the standard indicator/sidelight housings
3. Modify a set of R Lights to act as indicators as well as DRLS â€" This is the method I chose. For more information see here: iulian-led-sidelights-indicators-thread-t4406-220.html & new-idea-for-led-light-conversion-t7530-40.html
