Mk1 series 2 plastic bumpers

Post

Hi 

The previous owner fitted a new set of small style series 1 black powder coated bumpers to my 83 GTI before I bought it.

I prefer the standard look of the original bumpers but am struggling to find somewhere that sells them.

Can any of you kind folk point me in the right direction in terms of sourcing a good quality set - new or secondhand considered.

Cheers
Rich

Don't know what part of the country you're in but there are plenty of suppliers.

One I can recommend is vw spares.ie in Kildare, they have both front and rear bumpers listed. I've used them for T25 parts before and found them very helpful, Jon is the owner, a sound guy.

You can get them here, you might need the plastic side fixings as well if they are missing?

I can't comment on quality of the bumpers as I've not seen them, they are about 1/2 way down the page.

Does that mean you'll be looking to sell the small bumpers?

Try Mark Carter at Classicvw.co.uk he may have a set in stock.

However, I've got a set of plastic bumpers which i want to replace with the smaller s1 style bumpers so could be interested in a swap?
