This is going to seem like the most basic of VW modifications, but when I had my bumpers straightened and re-chromed, the shop that did it somehow rounded-out the front bumper to the point where the bumper gaurds would no longer fit over the bumper.
Therefore, my car has been without them for years. So on saturday I sat down with a dremel kit and grinded out the inside of the bumper brackets so that the were big enough to fit on. My front-end finally looks complete

good work! Much easier than fighting with the Chrome Shop for damages or whatever.

Totally. I used some "we pick it up and drop it off for you (so you don't see our factory that isn't EPA-compliant)" shop anyways, so I doubt I would have any recourse for repairs.

Thanks for sharing that sweet pic. I like your front end bumper setup. What color is your car sporting? Can a side/profile pic be posted?

Heh, ask and ye shall receive (from Mike). The PO actually painted the car this color and it's just about the only good thing he did to it. I don't know the name of the color and I'm color-blind, so I'm probably not the best authority on what color it is.
The 14" rims make it look a little hgher than it really is. If I drop it any more, I won't be able to make it up the ramp into my parking garage. It scrapes enough already

Bought this drawing by Craig Threeohtwo Anderson (facebook) or Presidential (here). He offered to water color it diamond blue too but I chickened out! Do you think I should send it back to him for the water colors?  He does 'snapshot' exact drawings off one of your pictures to your specs!

I painted my engine compartment today:
Beacuse of the tight confines I thought I'd give one of these a try:
It worked very well and I'm pleased with the results. |
