Wee bumpered mk2 (now with rh classics)

Bought it like this


And this is her today





Excuse the mucky bike, so far most people think its a 'step back' but wee bumpers are the future!!!
Hoping for some coilovers for the summer and some new wheels.

 

i see no pictures?

 

Look again

 

Mines got small bumpers! Small bumpers all the way tbh!

im thinking bout doing the same as you (see my post in vehicle chat) was it difficult to do and do? and what do i need to get ie brackets etc??? a little guide would be good,

 

Got a set of second hand bumpers with metal work and all, in theory you just unbolt the 2 bolts at each side holding the bumper on and slide the whole thing out, but you have to support the engine when doing the front as when you take out the bumper bolts the subframe isnt properly suported. And on each wing there is a bracket that the bumpers slide onto, small bumpers use smaller ones so you have to change these, a quid each from gsf.

You might have to get a lower front panel, big bumper cars arent suposed to have one but mine did because it was a small bumper before, though i had t change mine anyway as it was rotten.

I had a bit of trouble getting the back off though, all explained here http://clubgti.net/index.php?showtopic=2650

 

whats the lower front panel look like? might have to go and investigate to see if mine has it or not

 

Its the red bit below my bumper, that the spoiler is connected to.

 

ok just looked and dont think mine has that, does it cover the wings completley?

 

No it connectes to the wings, if you look at my pics you can see the joints at each corner going down,

 

Mine has small bumpers.. I think it gives them their own unique look!

 

Looks the ticket (as I said )

 

Cheers bob

 

Small bumpers are the new big bumpers!

 

looks good mate

i have been looking around for small bumpers and they are all scratched to buggery, anyone got some going ?? if so pm me??

 

my friend bob wants big bumpers for his tidy black Driver i keep trying to tell him small is the future! VW's fastest mk2 the G60 16V had small bumpers so we must all be right!

 

A pic of my new rimage

You have a good eye!!
