( pics befor and after) PUTTING BIG BUMPERS ON MY SMALL BUM(P)ER GOLF HELP PLS

[sharpie]

there is a plastic cover for the towing eye  that you remove to get to it.    i much prefer getting towed forwards 

 

Innit.

Why are you going big bumpers?  They're so 2005, unless they were supposed to be on the car.

scene big bumpered mk2s are all getting changed to small bumpers. it's fresh. it's 2008. it's ghey.

big bumpers are the shiz. mind that you will need the big bumper arches and arch liners too otherwise it will look sh!t, like this:

tell you what ur funny arnt ya.

I mean on the front if u do the conversion and then dont cut the rectangle of the metal part of the bumper you are going to have problems if you want towing from the front as u can only see a small part of the towing eye and it isnt enough to fit a tow bar through due the thickness of the new big bumper rather than the small ones.


funny bastard.

Not as funny as Sharpie, though.

it's not so much the width of the arches that's the problem, it's the length of them. it should be clear from the photo i posted above there is about a 2" gap from where the bottom of the big bumper should meet the arch liner/arch.

if that doesn't make sense, it will when you put the bumper on and see the big sh!tty gap.

ok big bumpers are now on (pics to folow) looks good but sap was right there is a small gap but not as bad as the one on the pic he sent and i cant seem to get them up to the line on the wings and back but they are up tight on the front and on the back its just the sides .is this normal or is there something i can do ill post pics later ok

If they are not Genuine VAG Items the will never line up!!! I had to replace both my front and rear bumpers and they have never matched up properly!! You cant really tell though!!

[Diamond Hell]

Unless they're a good fit (i.e. VAG) from the outset then you'll probably always have the sad sag on, like most big bumper conversions.

Waste of time and effort for something that now probably looks worse than it did to start.
