i picked up a mk3 lip for 10 bucks and read they fit right on a ef hatch but where it looks like it should mount doesnt line up does anyone know what to do to make that lip go on if i have to do any trimming or anything

 

Take ur bumper off flip it over get some self tapping screws and start from the middle n work out

Vice grips helped me while doing the curves

Trim the ends once done

 

Idk my 12yo cousin put mine on for me..

I have no clue about the MK3 Jetta lips fitting, I have an MK2 lip for mine that I have test fitted and it is just a tad bit longer in the wheel openings so it needs to be trimmed. I was told to find some clamps or vice grips and start in the center and work out to get it to line up. I believe the MK3 lips are the same size as the MK2 but not entirely sure it has been a few years since I have owned a VW.
