As in title

Probably but it would depend when it was manufactured and registered.
-
Yes. G reg was August 89 to August 90 so from late 89 they could well be 90 spec.
-
Mine has them. It was registered on 2nd Jan 1990. From memory, 90 spec cars were introduced in August 1989. There were still unsold small bumper cars around, so there was an overlap period where both were registered.
The quick way to tell a genuine big bumper car is if it has the hazard light switch on top of the steering column.

This is about it...
My SB 16v was registered in late Dec 89! I also think I'm right in saying, that SB cars that were still hanging round, had to be "Pre registered" before 1990, so in theory it was still possible to buy a brand new SB car in 90 and beyond, but it had already been registered... these cars were probably heavily discounted to get shot of them... strange really because the SB car is far better in every way!

OP, are you trying to determine whether a car is the genuine article?

As ever, this is just a guideline.
My car was registered in March '89 and is a genuine Big Bumper as standard from factory (mind you its an oddity as its also Bright Blue Metallic) :smiley:

Cheers just found out it was registerd 1/3/1990 so should this have big bumpers??
-
Definitely yes. :smiley:
-
Not necessarily, bu the chances are at that age it is genuine, but the only 100% way of knowing is by the hazard light switch. As said before, there were still a few unregistered small bumper cars floating around long after the big bumpers were introduced.
-
Even if it is genuine BB, check you don't have cheapo after market bumpers the brackets are less than rubbish and they generally don't fit too well.
I've often found them to be bodged onto the wings with bolts and self tappers :sick:
-
small bumpers everytime. much nicer look that's in proportion to the rest of the car. got a jade green 87gti and a medium blue 90gti. much rather the small bumper 1. shame its home to a couple of families of tinworm here and there.
