Hello I just got a 1976 2.0 and it has the (in my opion) ugly black ruber bumpers. I was wondering if the chrome bumpers will fit with out changing anyhting.
Thanks |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) what are you implying! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
i believe if the brakets for the rubber bumpers are cut off, and new brakets installed for the solid mount chrome bumpers, they will bolt right on. |

You can unbolt the brackets for the RBBBs (Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers). You will also have to cut off the lips on the side that hold the rubber bumper cover to the body of the car. The front lip of the channel that holds the front of the front trunk seal is larger on the late cars, also to hold the edge of the rubber bumper cover. You'll have to cut that down or grind it off or deal with it somehow.
You'll need to drill four mounting holes for each bumper. Happily, the reinforcements for the early mounting points are still there, and will show you where to drill. Remember to paint all the bare metal you create with this cutting and drilling, or you'll be inviting rust along. When you do all that, the early bumpers (chrome, black, or body-colored) should bolt right up. --DD |
