hi there everyone! im about to attempt fitting a set of standard gti fogs, ( mine just had plates rivited over the fog light holes atm) and was just wondering how much of a pin it is to take of the front bumper? anything i should be aware of? im deffo hoping that the wires aer still there to wire them in so as i dont have to re run them. is there anything else i should think about doing while ive got the bumper off? many many thanks guys!

You shouldn't need to remove the bumper. As it's a GTi it'll have had fogs before so the wiring should still be there.
well t may be really fiddly if you still have the brake duckting there still as the fog sits directly above it, shouldnt have to remove the bumper, if you do youll have to remove the headlights, indicators, grill 
id leave it haha
get the front of the car up on some ramps, and get underneath it on your back, youll be able to do it all from there

As above,you don't need to take the bumper off for the fogs.
But if you do,say for the wiring,etc.PLEASE be careful when you undo the bolts! I removed my GF's gti bumper last week and sheared/snapped 4 bolts.
To avoid snapping the bolts,just tighten and untighten very carefully.
The 2 bolts in the middle section at the top of the bumper and the 2 bolts in the middle section underneath the bumper.
Hope that helps
