probably not. unless i can get some small chrome euro bumpers. but im not willing to spend 700 for a set of bumpers. ill make my own 1st. i actually have a set i made, no $ to chrome them and they turned out like shit when i painted them black. I used a triumph tr6 rear bumper i chopped and tweaked for the rear, and a cross between a triumph tr6 rear and a early 70’s mg front to make my front bumper. looked better raw, so i dont run them. i think a chopped down 1st gen camaro rear bumper would work for both front and rear of my car. as it is tight to the body, and on the smallish side. just dont have one to try out. here is more pics of my build… [http://forum.vwsport.com/pics/showgallery.php?cat=3020](http://forum.vwsport.com/pics/showgallery.php?cat=3020) ---
