Title: Big Bumper Fitment.
Post by: Ads on 24 July 2005, 15:15

Hi guys.

I have some big bumpers that im going to fit soon and was wondering if i need any other
parts before fitting.

I have a G Reg 8v gti with big trim and small bumpers, i also got 4 (plastic things) slightly cureved
with the bumpers but dunno what they do.

Anybody?

not sure what those 4 plastic things are without a picture. you'll need 4 guide peices that are grey in colour iirc.

you just need to fit these bigger ones in the place of the smaller guides. you may have to drill another hole in the wing under the existing hole to mount the larger guide. See the how to I added to this section.

Do you mean these when you say 4 plastic curved things? If so there the bumper clips you need.

Dont the bumpers already have them brackets?
