Subject:      1990 Vanagon Plastic/Fibreglass bumpers
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Hello Volks,

My 1990 Vanagon (Caravelle GL) has been rear-ended and
the fibreglass bumper has been broken. I checked the
various parts vendor sites for a new one but it seems
that new ones aren't available anymore, only metal
ones. I also understand that their mounting methods
are different and thus are not interchangeable. My car
body shop also says they're not compatible.
So can anyone suggest where I can get a Fibreglass
one? If not, what solution can you recommend? Is it
easy to to change to the metal ones, and will it look
OK? My front bumper also has the plastic spoiler, so
if I change my rear one to metallic, won't my van
look "funny" IYO, with different bumpers front and
back (the metal ones are smaller AFAIK)?
Also, what costs are involved and what needs to be
replaced?
cheers, TM
