I'd like to buy some euro bumpers for my 4dr 84 rabbit. the stock bumpers are just too ugly. let me know what you have. i'd also like to get some fender flares. let me know your price.

Good luck, I got lucky with my euro bumpers. We could always drill the shocks and mount your bumper closer to the body.

i've thought about that too. but i would definitly like to find those narrower black gti bumpers.

rockinveedubs · « **Reply #3 on:** January 28, 2010, 07:51:25 PM »

these are actually the ones i would like the most. if somebody has a nice pair of them and wants to sell, let me know.

195 isnt too bad at all, now if you want to spend some money, look up CHROME euro bumpers.

I dunno about MkII bumpers on a MkI..but I know the MkI bumpers is 4 bolts for each bumper. pretty easy to swap.

You'd have to double check the bumper frame (you can see it from underneath), as with my 84 GTI, the bumper frame is "solid" so you can't just drill and push them in... it requires cutting and welding

Ed just find some bumper shocks on an older VW. If I had my old ones I would give them to you, but them shits went to scrap

rockinveedubs · « **Reply #12 on:** February 03, 2010, 03:42:35 PM »

yeah. that cabby is what i was wanting you to see. i think it looks really clean compared to the bare front with just a bumper. anyone know of anyone who would have bumpers like these?

oh... I'm not worried, my GTI is going bumperless... besides the rare front airdam I have won't work with a bumper

greggearhead · « **Reply #14 on:** February 03, 2010, 07:37:56 PM »

If you wanted to cut and weld them - I'd be happy to help. Just cut them up and prep them and I will weld them for a 6-pack.

I don't know why, but I never liked mk1s with bumpers. Of coarse, the first thing I used to do with any VW I bought was rip the bumpers off untill I got the TDI.

I like the rabbit body without bumpers. Caddy is meh, Scirocco looks good with short bumpers. and most of the time look like a toothless grandpa without them.

hey.... if you do go with different bumpers, can I have yours?
