Bumper Change?

[CvilleSuper]

I have a late model super (1978) and would like to eliminate the front turn signals (on top of the fenders) and replace the bumper with the early style super bumper with integral turn signals. Does anyone know if these early super bumpers will fit on my '78 without modification? Thanks for all advice!

there is a tech article on SuperBeetlesOnly.com for just this very thing.

I could not find it after 10 pages. Do you have a link?

There is not a tech article but there have been posts asking this question. All you need to do is remove the late bumper and install the early one in its place, this will require you to drill some holes in the bumper. It's basically the same shape and size, the early bumpers are just thinner.
