Re: Repro early bumpers
Hi all!
The other thing to consider with the 'inner' parts of the plastic bumper ,is for some reason VW turned them upside down when the mounted them with the plastic cover, also if memory serves me well
I don't remember them having the recess ( where the rub strip sits ) in the face of the bumper
I guess if you were good at welding it's an option, but if you are going for painted, then taking a mould and making some up in glass or carbon would be better?
