I think you mean these?
You have to buy the mounts if your bumper didnt come with them. My local VW place had them. And ive seen them on ebay.

The easiest way I've done it, is to bolt the bottom brackets on, then bolt the flanges onto the top bars, hand tight. Use a jack to push the bumper and flanges up against the shock tower, and then weld away.
