Default Importing TT into Canada - need cdn-spec bumper to pass certification

Hi,

My uncle is importing a 2004 TT 225 from the US into Canada and needs to replace the US-spec bumpers with CDN-spec ones.

Anyone near Toronto have canadian bumpers laying around that they could sell or if they have a CDN bumper on their car, would consider doing a straight swap?

I believe it may be more complicated than that. The "tumors" in Canadian bumpers are backed up by metal bumpers and shock absorbers that may differ from USA TT's.

Default I believe the Canadian and US bumper construction (behind) is the same...

The tumors were added for 5mph protection against damage here is Canada. If your TT is Imola Yellow I might consider a swap!

maybe Dani (Bluhaven) has some insight.

Default front is just the bumper skin, rear is the skin and the support

my ex might still have the bumper I bought.... someone was going to buy it but never sent the money... I have no idea if they just lost interest of if he gave it to them without verifying payment with me.

It's blue though
