It would take me two to four weeks to make the molds and a set of early bumpers. The cost would be around $380.00 a pair plus shipping.

I think the best thing to do is make the bumper/spoiler out of fiberglass and then splice in the 6-7" in the middle then pant it. Doing out of carbon, would be allot of work and wouldn't look to good. If you want fit and function then fiberglass spliced and painted is the way to go.

Why not use a front bumper on the rear? It may not be enough for total coverage with fenders that are three inches wider but it may be enough extra in length to work effectively anyway. (Someone will have to measure for specifics.)

CCC 1.1/4" wider rear fenders with stock front bumper
Most people have no idea they are wider than stock but they can't figure out how you got 7" deep dish rims on it:D

Link to US distributor

EDIT: I saw this ad during lunch. (I do not know the seller and have no connection with the ad other than its reporting).

LOL, that is an OLD picture of my car!

CarbonJoe: I am also interested in a bumper/spoiler combo.

That looks AWESOME! How did you mount it, and would you know if later model lips (maybe bigger ones) would fit as well?

Just mounted with bolts and srews through the lowest part of the front apron. Used the original mounting holes in the spoiler for it. Needed to use self-threading screws for the fiberglass fenders, but other than that, its sooo easy by just looking at the part and your car..
Don't know about the GTI- deeper lip spoiler, but that may be too much spoiler for this mounting method. No experience with it.
