Lookin good.... bet you'll have a task and a half to get a GL rear bumper though! (the only Mk3 Estate bumper with the XR/RS style plastic mouldings).

When I did one I couldn't get one anywhere (and that was 8 years ago!!!).
I ended up adapting a regular hatchback bumper.... Just a bit shorter and the mounts are reversed.....
