R - Busted Front Bar Lower Grill

[INASNT]

Driving home last night massive feral cat ran out infront of the car. Tried to brake but it bounced off the front of the car.

When I got home noticed the lower front bar including one of the front parking sensors were smashed

Will I need a whole new front bar or are I able to get a replacement lower section with bracket for the parking sensor. Parking sensor still works but bracket is broken.

Sux to hear.

is this the part that you need?

Volkswagen Golf R 2.0T > Exterior > Body > Bumper > ES#1878080 Golf R Front Lower Grille - 5K0853671J041


All other front bumper spare parts can be found here: OEM / Performance Parts for Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Mini, Porsche & Volkswagen - ECS Tuning

Yep, that the part. Is the parking sensors apart of this piece?

Is it just a clip off / on piece?

There are 2 parking sensors mounted in this central lower grill section, and i think you would need to buy a new parking sensor as the grill doesn't look like it comes with them. (if you email ECS Tuning they will be able to confirm if the sensors are included or not - but id say they aren't as there is no mention of them on their website).

Also bear in mind that you will need to remove your front bumper bar in order to replace this grille (and its a fun job removing the front bumper believe me) as it clips out from the back.

Similar happened to me a few weeks ago.....a strip of a truck tyre blew up infromt of me from the car infront and smashed the grill....still in place but cracked and split in many places....gonna leave it as i'm tracking the car soon

can you re attach the sensor to the new bar with some decent glue or is it totally smashed ?? I've never priced one but I imagine its not cheap
