Title: Wanted: Light weight (Euro?) bumpers for Mk1 Jetta
Post by: ilikevwdiesel on May 14, 2011, 04:02:18 am

Anyone know where I can get a set? The US bumpers on my car are very heavy, want to get some of that weight off.

rabbit bumpers are aluminum, and super light weight.. like under 20 lbs.

I got an aluminum front bumper off of an '88 cabby that has the signal holes. It's on my gti since I'm planning to go early westy without corner markers.
Hope this helps.
