i have recently bought a 98 polo but i am not too keen on the front and rear bumpers so i am looking at my options i am not really after a bodykit either but what i was more interesting in doing was looking for a 16v bumper for it but any way my question is:
do the 6n2 bumpers fit straight on to a 6n are do they need some mods if anyone can help please let me know lol
Help lol pround new owner of a polo 6n but have question lol
i think the valver bumpers would probably be a better idea to be honest dude. Much less hastle, probably less expensive aswell.
(Bare in mind this is my un-informed imagination at worl here, not the thougths of a proffesional on the subject lol.)
I think youd probably have to shave the bits that go underneath the lights off and then maybe fibreglass over the gap and smooth with filler. Then you may have to adjust how you attach the thing. Its doubtful that all the nuts and bolts are in the same place (though ive never held a N2 bumper so not 100% on that). You also have to consider whether or not the arches will allign. Im fairly confident that the angles and that would all be correct. Dont think the N2 had different arches.. or where they a bit more flared... i should really look..
*runs off*
and google allows us this comparison:
Not the best pcis in the world but hopefully you catch my drift.
EDIT: christ this first pic was huge two secs ago. Ive dumbed it down on photoshop. Cause i am a photchopping wizard *cough*


Ok im gna try resize those and upload them but im expecting to go otu in abotu ten minutes so its a bit of a push Apologies for the size of that monster image but atleast it displays the problem enough i guess lol.
