My mk2 currently has big bumpers with small-bumper arches, skirts, and doortrims. However, I saw a photo a couple of days ago (can't find it for the life of me now :huh:) of a mk2 with small bumpers, and big-bumper arches, skirts, and doortrims.
I thought this looked wicked, so I may well be awkward enough to do it do my car. I have a few queries about it tho:
1. The mk2 had a large 16v front splitter on. To get the big-bumper arches to match up with the splitter, is it purely cutting of the arches which is involved, or is sticking required too? :rolleyes:
2. Do all the arches, skirts and doortrims plug straight in, or do new holes have to be drilled anywhere?
3. Would a rear small bumper fit on the front? I know it may not reach back to the arches, but it would be a lot less effort than smoothing indicators and number-plate recess :grin:

1. cutting and a bit of jiggery will be required, a nut/bolt might be an idea on the outer edge.
2. straight fit, the sill trims need sticky pads and a screw at either end
3. not a straight fit, but anything is possible with time & effort. may be easier to plastic weld the holes shut really!

:smiley: Thanks rubjonny, excellent reply as always! I was expecting someone to say "don't put a rear bumper on the front, you won't have any indicators" :rolleyes:

Don't put a small rear bumper on the front, you won't have any indicators...
:tongue:

Yep, even after my second post, I was still expecting someone to say that :rolleyes:

Thats such a good idea!
Might need the iron brackets from a front bumper screwed onto the rear bumper but would be good to see how it works :smiley:
