Will MK2 bumpers fit on MK1 Rabbit?
« on: October 02, 2010, 10:03:56 am »
Topic title says it all.  If so, curious if bumpers off of a Corrado would fit, too, since it's basically just a MKII Golf front, right?  Thanks.

As an additional question, is the single square Westy core support the same as single round early Rabbit?  In other words, can I just swap in single rounds and a single round grill onto my Westy front end, or do you need the actual single round core support to mount the round headlights?

mk2 bumpers fit an mk2, unless you want your car to look like a monster..

and usually when the swap is done, you swap the lights, core support, and grille. round lights are bigger than the square lights, and hit the core support. they are different. theres the westy core support, single & dual round support, and the uuber rare mk1 aero setup (i want one bad, they are sexy)
