Attention: Anyone who has converted to euro bumpers...

[TDE30]

Well, I finally picked up all four sets of euro bumpers from being refinished, they look great, but now comes the time to order bumper hardware. Instead of ordering everything in the picture on ETK, I was hoping anyone on here who has converted from US to euro could tell me what exactly I will need for the conversion. The front seems pretty self-explanatory as I can tell from the ETK picture, the rear confuses me though. I'll post up the ETK picture as well as what parts I do have, if someone on here can tell me what else will be needed for the swap I'd appreciate it.



What I have: 1, 2, 3, 8, 12, 13, 14.
What I am ordering: 4, 5, 6, 7, 9.

So, what else do I need? How much of what I need can be used from my current US bumper hardware?

TIA.

You will definately need 15, not sure if it came from the us bumpers but good idea to order fresh ones, plastic pieces. serves as spacer to line up the spacing. I dont think you can use much from existing bumpers.

David has a nice write up on the DIY, I added a bunch of info when I converted Nina.

side note... 5 comes in two finishes, flat black or chrome, just be careful when ordering... Dont ask me why I know. If you need black ones do let me know.


Looking forward to seeing end result.

Yeah, a bunch of those <$5.00 bolts/screws/clips I just plan on ordering from the dealer, so number 15 will be added to that list.

Thanks for the info and I'll be sure to post some finished pictures post-install.
