|
|
Has anyone removed the small clips welded onto the front fenders to support the bumper ? They seem to do very little to actually hold the bumper and don't look that nice.
Just wondering if people do this ? Any pictures with them gone
Thanks |

I’m thinking that they were more for using the bumper to support/stiffen the fender. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.
