Tucking *PLASTIC* bumpers.

[rThor432]

Yeah I think I like the back too. I would leave probably an extra inch or so up front. It doesnt look good so even with the valence. I dont know. I still like my '87 is air dam, so the plastics would have to work with that.

Think we might be on to something guys....

Is it just me? Or does it seem like something A1/A2 Vw guys would do?

I dunno. I like it on the back, but at the front (at least in a profile view) it makes the front loo a bit too snub-nosed.

Most MkI guys just pull them completely, dunno about the MkII guys, they usually go with either the later-model "big bumpers" or the smaller early ones.

Hmm I'm on the fence.

Nice job, George. Looks cool, but to me, doesn't warrant enough of an aesthetic gain to do that much work.

Animated gif, wait for the second image to load.

Anybody got a quickphotoshop? Would it look like the front is 'shaved', similar to the old 2002 racers?

I'm gonna check it out Friday or whenever I go out to the shop.

I will mount it up on my car real quick to get an idea of what it would look like. I'll get some pictures if I remember the camera.

... and that's hard enough as it is!

[Jand3rson]

I looked into it. I think it WOULD be that hard. There are alot more pieces, not to mention, you must shorten the side length now by 3/4"-1" because the rear would be tucked by that much. I would love to see it, but think it would be alot of work.

Same. I would love to see that, but I think it would be a lot more work than you're anticipating. Doing the rear would almost be like modifying a set to fit on diving board cars.

Someone give me a good picture to Photoshop, and it shall be done.

I think the hardest part of that is making a really clean line, to make it factory. Honestly I love stock plastics...so I wouldn't even consider it. I have euros on my DD and plastics on my Turbo...so I have the best of both worlds. :)

i think itd be just about as hard as retrofitting them on an older car

I bet the work wouldnt be that hard. Sounds cool. Maybe I will try that with a spare set of plastics to see if it would work..
