    2 easy bumper swap questions...

    so, cabrios do accept newer bumpers without mods.
    my questions are ...
    do you guy use the plastic sliders ?

    - i tryed the front ones but they create a gap between bumper and fender.

    - as per rear, yet to try, looks like it needs some drilling.

    I really like the clean look without those ugly external foglights.

    your comments please...

    You have to use the late valance for it to fit properly.. Can't use that ugly early valance.

        yeah, and use the rear brackets also. those euro weaves with the gold center are hot.

          Thanks again, will finish rear this weekend and leave front as is until I find alate style red valance, already have fogs for it.

          as per rims, they need refinishing, notice deeper/simpler lip on ACT ones.

          fronts are BBS 15x7 et24 and rear are ACT 15x7.5 et25

          thought 15`s weaves were oem from 89 and up ?

              well, almost all done,
              added a Racing Technics rear apron, all i need now it's a red front valance.

              Im starting to like the smooth non rear spoiler look, whet you guys think ?

                Get some side skirts and align your rear bumper again, and you're golden.

                edit: aside from the obvious lacking a proper front valance.

                  i see what you mean, it looks like that 'cus ends are not bolted down yet.

                  cabrio side skirts are harder to find than a virging at my age.
                  maight paint the rocker panels for now.

                  yet to file down fender ends at wheel wells and need to drill holes for the slidersso it will fit as is suppost to.
                  thanks,
