Need your opinion, please everyone... Mexibeetle front bumper...
 
Ok, yes i know, i know...

the german look is basically trying to make your kafer look more updated, and porshe-ish....

But, while snooping around the web, i've noticed these babies, and was wondering what you guys thought of them...

yes, i know there not a german part, but I think with a healthy drop, and nice 17-18s, the mexi front bumper will really go nice with the car.

as long as it is clean looking (which it is) I would go for it!

I think that front bumper might look kinda nice on the front of my super.

yea, what darren said.

:D personally i like that, what are the prices for that?????

I agree with everyone here that it is really up to you. I like the lights on the bumpers look. It is a cleaner look than the lamps on top of the fender. What are these made from? Where did you find them? How much??

I really like those. Where can you buy them at??

i went to memoimports.com, and I emailed the guy about his lights and bumper and stuff, and then he gave me a number to call, so I could ask him over the phone about his products, i'll post here what he says...

If I went with the mexibeetle bumpers with their respective mexibeetle mounts..will this be a direct bolt on for my 78 Convertible super.. What about the rubber grommet that goes on the fender..I also like the look of the mexibeetle bumpercover.
I was also wondering if I used a euro blade on my supervert 78 and redrilled holes to match euroblade will this work???
I would like to change my factory bumpers on my 78 convertible.. I have read some threads on using i think UK or Mex bumper brackets which would facilitate the use of bumpers from the earlier 70's with turn signals built-in.. I ultimately would like to put mexibeetle or euro blades on my super vert.. regarding thed euroes is this possible with original bumber mounts.. The super utilizes two bolts, one on each side of the bumper to mount.. If I redrilled the holes on the euroblade to match the stock location would this work
