Polo and Caddy - same front end?

[armo90]

Can anyone confirm that the bumper mounting points are the same on the 2013+ Polo and the 2013+ Caddy? As I understand they are on the same platform.the reason for my questions is; I need a very economical car I can put a bull bar on, and you can buy full bull bar for the Caddy. TIA

They dont share the same platform its the old golf platform. Bumpers are different. Polo is a straight line back from the headlight. Caddy goes up a little at the rear of the headlight and then goes down on an angle to the wheel arch.

Caddy and Touran fronts are interchangable, but we don't get the Touran in Aus.

Not sure where you're planning to mount a bullbar on anything VW, Audi, etc.

The very ends of the chassis rails on them are probably 3in X 3in at best, and already in a fairly crowded spot.

Personally, I think bullbars are a no-no for passenger cars. Perhaps consider a new-ish diesel ute?

Caddy/Polo were the same chassis in the 90s. The 21th Century Caddy is built on the Golf platform
