I also fitted the rear bumper, which ended up being a complete pain in the ar$e! Where the towbar sits between the brackets it actually pushes them out slightly, meaning the bolt holes in the bumper are about half an inch in from the bolt holes in the brackets. In the end I just decided to redrill holes in the brackets instead of the hassle of trying to bend them back in. I also removed the rear pinstripping too;  Other side;  |

Cheers guys, Don't worry, the detail on the tyres will be polished off when I finally get round to doing the wheels! |

Cool car and starting to look even better with a few little changes. Roofrack is the same as what was on my old Jetta I'm missing having something low and slow  |

If only everything in life was as cool as a retro VW racer.

Wouldn't have a clue as to whether it fitted I'm afraid, but if you wanna take a chance it's yours. |

Hey hey, sorry I've not got back to you re the bumpers! Reckon I'm gonna pass.... weight saving is good but your T3 just looks 'right' with the europa bumper, the early ones look 'right' on an early car and never the two shall meet. Thanks though! You're still a star  Don't suppose my luck today will run to you finding a full set of red rear and clear front lenses lying around the place? |

You're still a star Don't suppose my luck today will run to you finding a full set of red rear and clear front lenses lying around the place? No probs dude, I'm inclined to agree with you on the 'not looking right' thing. I may end up trying them on mine though, seeing as some curse word has decided to put a nice parking dent in my newly fitted rear bumper.  Depends on how well I can push it out. No chance on the lights I'm afraid - I've got some spares but they're just standard. |
