Any leads would be great cause im definitely wanting to go through with this, for something a little different!

Maybe a two headlight grill also:

I have a mint set of small bumpers stashed away Dan. and that lower panel.

You should come and visit us soon.

sorry about today, got caught up and ran out of time, maybe friday. Also, you have the front, but what do i do with the back, how does that work?

[Mischa]

I'll buy your big bumpers off you when you buy small ones.

Golfballs did the same thing with his s3 into a Golf 2 Thread, check it out.

Yeh sounds good mischa, your first in line. Checked out golfballs thread. By the looks of it im guessing that back panel is behind my big bumper at the moment. Am I close or do I still need to find that panel. Also anybody know where to get the bumper mounts, seems they are smaller then the big bumpers ones.

[DangerDan]

Managed to get the small bumpers, but no luck with the front valance. Im probably going to import though GAP but it is expensive. Does anybody know where to find one hear. Im going to try that muller guy GolfLoon suggested but doubt I'll get much luck.

As soon as i can get it, it will be going on with the G60's and side skirt to try out the look. I'll also be trying to get the front spoiler on aswell. Then when I've worked for a bit and saved some cash, I'll out on some fat wheels.

Then need to look at ride height doing some other things.

just curious how much small bumpers set you back, i got a mk2 with the small bumbers, im thinking of changing to the big bumpers though

[DangerDan]

I bought them $200, and they are pretty straight. Just need a respray. It your going to big bumpers, could I buy your front valance off you?

I'm changing mine cause my big bumper is stuffed (bumper bar bent behind the plastic mould)

[DangerDan]

Sorry about no updates, been very busy.

So got the small bumpers and they are being primed and resprayed as I speak so they look nice and slick.

Also managed to get the front valance and picking it up in a few weeks.

Also the twin light grill, small one piece lip spoiler, and crisp new lights and indicators are on the way.

Still contemplating the g60's but will get more of an idea once the whole kit is on.

[DangerDan]

Also when i had the big bumpers, i bought the small fog lights but since im ripping them off, I was thinking i could somehow retro fit the fogs to the valance.

Thinking of just welding up a bracket or something to hold it in place and making a hole in the valances plastic mold trim. I reckon it will look unique and different if I can pull it off. Otherwise I'll just get some big spotties and mount them from the bumper.

[DangerDan]

Also hopefully going down/up bells line road with some mates (Hillman Hunter and hopefully a 66 Mustang (Carby problems) and maybe other) so look to spread the legs a bit. I sure the Hillman will keep up, COUGH, COUGH

[DangerDan]

Anybody have mk1/mk2 indicator lights for a small bumper mk2, want to see if I can get it here before going international. Sorry no pics, but car is almost there, received the twin lights grill and front valance spoiler today, just waiting to put the new bumpers on when I get the valance, hopefully soon.

Do i need to swap the bumper bar mounts from the big bumper to small one to fit on my car?

[Golf Loon]

Bar mounts are different for the early and late bumpers, you need the ones for the small bumpers.

Indicators are the same as Mk1. I have several sets here. Including clear ones if you prefer.
