body and interior Vw Rabbit Euro Rear Bumper On A 2002

[POKTROKT]

Thumbs up or down?

 

It is just propped on there now, I think it looks better than the diving board, good for now I think....

paintable? What year is the bumper from?

It look too square to me. I would have just pushed in the diving board, for that shortened look. At least you wouldn't have those extra holes to worry about.

+1...

It's not much smaller, if any, than the big bumper, pushed in or trimmed possibly. Paint-able is a plus, however, if that's your thing. I was expecting to see some chrome...obviously I'm not a VW aficionado.

The bumper is from a euro pre 84 rabbit, yeah definitely square-ish.

 

I'll mount it and see, I can always go back.

LMFAO.......classic

Looks like the US E28 & E30 bumpers that owners want to remove in favor of the slimmer Euro components.

Euro Jetta bumper may work better since the sides are longer..

Thumbs down

With some cutting of course, I have considered the 67-68 Camaro rear bumper.  90 bucs.

The sides sit perfectly inside the dimple for the 2002 small bumpers, I have to agree it does not look ideal but it will be an alternative to the big bumper for the time being. 

 

I would like to keep the big bumpers but in my opinion (and others that have removed, replaced, tucked, etc) the bumpers just look like an afterthought... which in reality they are, like so many other imports in NA of that vintage... yes the rabbit bumpers are like a bad teeth implant but the diving boards are the bad teeth.
