MK2 Big bumpers on a MK1

All,


I was coming back across the M62 last week and passed a beutifull Mk1 in white when i got passed i slowed down to have a good look and noticed what looked like MK2 big bumpers on it does anyone know how they were fitted if in fact they were mk2 big bumpers or where they a modified Mk1 version anyway you chaps on here are brilliant and im sure you can solve another of my early mk1 questions


Thanks in advance

you can/could buy big bumpers designed for MK1's, But don't they look Shite

 

i thought they looked pretty cool taste varies eh

 

you see them on a lot of Cabbies....look ok but I wouldnt have em.

 

imo the only kit that looks good on a hardtop is the vw karmann cab kit,it fits perfectly being oe and dosnt look chav

neil.

 

Stick to small bumpers,


or as Neil says.

 

Nice that.

 

sits well dont it

mirrors are a bit touch and go for me,but check how well the bumper/wheels arches/side skirts fit

its all about the look you wanna go for i suppose?

and if you do decide on the karmann kit,stay away from the fibreglass copys! or you may as well try and make mk2 bumpers look good.

will pay decent money for the plastic vw kits though...

neil.

 

certainly similar but the car i saw actually had perfect looking mk2 big bumpers may have been a retro fit or a one off

 

i agree with what riley says - i've found its most often called a clipper kit though

see my sig - only with no bumpers, 15x7 ET13 sit perfect in the arches

sweet mikey c

 

wow that looks odd, but i kinda like it, looks likea stumpy mk2...





...i like that

 

say no to big bumpers on mk1's

 

Those mk1's look pretty cool, the m3 skirts don't look quite right though.

I've got a clipper kit but I've never got round to fitting it.

 

I don't like the skirts either, but the front end looks OK. Andy, I think yours looks fine as it is. Just go for some different rims.

 

i think big bumpers look dead good on mk1's, there was a lovely mk1 caddy in a vw mag ages ago, with jetta big bumpers on it, looked really nice

dont know how you'd fit them though... useful of me

 

I want this car. In black.. but I want it.

How much you reckon I could get a car/or car and modify like this?

 

cheers

incidentaly does anyone know what wiper arm this is? i'm struggling to find one - ones ive tried (off the back of a newish mondeo and single wiper from a mk2 golf) have a larger splined fitment than a mk1 fitment

cheers
