It is screwed to the body just behind the welded vertical body seam below the bumper. Other than looks, with a Vanagon it serves no purpose. Disadvantages include scraping it occasionally when you go through dips and it makes removing or replacing the spare a little harder. The center section actually has a small area that you can snap open to get to the bolt and release for the spare tire carrier.

> Hi all. The talk about the SA front bumper reminded me of a question that I had. Does anyone know what it takes to mount the later Wolfsburg/Carat front spoiler onto an older chrome-bumper van? I realize they are hard to get, but if I could find one, I'm curious as to what other hardware or work I would need to do to mount one to my 1984. Also, does anyone know if there is any benefit (other than looks) to having one? I.E. mileage, stability, etc.? Thanks. > > Chris > > ________________________________________________ > PeoplePC: It's for people. And it's just smart. > http://www.peoplepc.com > |
