mk2 bumpers on a mk1?

Can it be done?

Yep. Anything can be modified to fit anything else.

Err - wouldn't a clipper kit be a better option?

why mk2-alike a mk1 - plenty of cheap mk2's out there  :wink:

my thoughts exactly!!

Are you thinking of the mk2 big bumper kit, then if so as CQ says, the clipper kit will be a better option…

otherwise, they are the wrong shape and wont fit right!!
I remember seeing a cabby somewhere with the mk2 big bumper kit and it looked wrong, wrong wrong

think someone has brought one on here. (the car with the kit on).

it looks out of place.

like he modern jap bodykits do too. (on anything that ain't jap

 :wink: )

As has been said they dont fit right or look good.

its the clipper kit i want to be rid of!!!!

Ok, so nno go on the mk2 bumper front then, thanks for your help guys….. back to ebay then :wink:

There was a phase of this during the early to mid nineties. I remember attending inters back then when loads of Mk1s had the big bumpers from Mk2s. The fronts had to be cut slightly as the Mk1 front end is slightly wider than the Mk2.
Personally I quite liked some of them when the job was done well.
However that was before the Mk1 became the classic it is now and I now believe keeping them as original as poss is best.

exactly right, I cant stand mk1's that look like mk2's

clipper kits look great no need to be getting rid of it

i see your points... but i really dont like the overweight look of the front end, also i dont think you get as good down force when going at speed as you do with the mk1 gti spoiler, so the clipper kit must go
