Test fitted my newly acquired US front bumper today for my show car. Chuffed I've now made a pair. Still got a US front n tailgate on order so this car may end up with a US front. ;)




Also went to test fit the vettes but realised that I need smaller wheel bolts for the adaptors. Adaptors bolt on fine but the Vw bolts don't fit. Is it a case of just getting some thinner bolts?

Wheel info if you wondered are:

8.5 x 16 F
9.5 x 16 R

20mm n 25mm H&R adaptors.

Better update when we get some good weather.

What's the difference between the standard bumper and the US one other than the side markers? The smoothed numberplate section?

Yep side markers and smooth plate section. They are also deeper by just under a inch. This makes other parts on the bumper different aswell. Eg the lower uk grills are too small for the US bumper.

That passat looked wicked on those rims! Any closer to getting them on the hulk mate?
