same crap you get from certi-fit.
they are "euro" because of no turnsignal holes. MOST aftermarket ones dont come with signal holes anyways.......

do you mean for a1 or a3 fenders? The rabbit ones are basically cabriolet fenders and for the a3 they have the opening for the side repeater/blinker

What about their euro bumpers on there? Are they just the early Rabbit ones?

i have some RPI bumpers. they are for cosmetics only. they don't offer any crash protection. but they fit fine and do look much sleeker. the quality is about a 7/10 i would say.

I was under the impression that Rabbit ones have turn signals, Jetta ones do not. True?
Are these RPI ones VW or otherwise?

What you said above does not answer my question. I am suggesting that they are Euro Jetta bumpers and NOT Rabbit bumpers. Never heard of Certi-fit. And if they are indeed Euro Jetta bumpers then they don't necessarily have to be aftermarket.
So my questions are still open.....

A1Rocco,
I bought some Euro Jetta bumpers from RPI. The front Euro Jetta bumper had no turn signal holes in the bumper. Since I had the NA headlight/grill combo I needed those holes. I was told by others that they cut holes in their bumpers for their turn signals. What I did was return my front Jetta Euro for a Rabbit Euro which has the holes pre-cut.

The Jetta Euro had a spot for a Euro plate molded in, where as the Rabbit Euro does not. The rear Jetta Euro fit fine with no issues.

Upon impact with a car a few months after installation, my front Rabbit Euro exploded into about 238 pieces, followed next by my front fender.

Sorry my fault.. I got off track with the bumbers. I was just looking fo rRPI general quality. Seeing as an '83 GTI will make home in my garage this week I am in search of parts.
