smooth bumper

[MrAnderson93]

finally finished my bumper, i think its s**t hot and the indicators are perfectly visible deep down there, infact in the night the bumpers so glossy that the light reflects off the paint in the outer vents and they seem even brighter than what they actually are lol, just need to tint the lenses now so they dont stand out as much, what you all think? ><

I like it, thats where i plan to put my indicators when im done 

[MrAnderson93]

yeah i though they would be a bit hidden but by the time the front indicators go out of sight, the side markers are clearly visible so its all good >< you doing half smooth like me or full on, like removing the swage line etc.?

[relentlessintentions]

well 1/2 is what you did, full is too much, so 3/4 - numberplate and lights, but im keeping the line (gonna be fun  ) as i think its too bland without it

looks quality same as I want to do to mine eventually, how did you mount the indicators?

Very nice!
I think the standard gti bumper looks good with the swage line left in,
but if it was a smooth top bumper, i would say smooth the whole fecker.
I haven't seen another mk3 with the indicators at the bottom like yours.
Good work.

just cut 1 hole in the edge of the vent on the outside (well poked a solering iron through ><) then I cut the plastic supports from where the indicators originsasly weere (you kow the bit that the metal springy bit clips into) and i plastic welded them in the bottom, tried to keep everything as OE as possible so i basiclayy just moved the whole indicator and its mounts down haha

I think if you check you indicators are mounted to low and are illegal.

[MrAnderson93]

well they can be seen alot better in the night than most modern cars with the indicators in the headlight housing, ive had many situations with the bumper where no ones been confused and i was even at a cruise the other night with police looking over the car and they didnt seem to pick up on it

Take a minute to read the construction and use regs, indicators have to be a set height from the road, trust me yours are too low.
