Tony, You must be at East. $3K for a 70K Vanagon? I checked the Wolfsburg fiberglass bumpers at VW dealer when I wracked my rear chrome bumper back to '88. I remember with all brackets and side pieces it will cost me like $2K!!! Of course I withdrew that "great" idea...

Please respond to tonyd <tonyd@CANDESA.COM> To: Vanagon@VANAGON.COM cc: Subject: bumper upgrade ... i have an 87 gl vanagon that i bought a few weeks ago. it's in reallly great shape, 70,000 mi, everything works(minus rear wiper/power mirrors) all for $3,000!!! right, back to the question, it came with stock chrome bumpers that have kissed a few others. i want to replace them with something more along the lines of a "wolfsburg/carat" type bumper with the spoiler etc. any advice on doing so? too costly? won't work? i think it would be a nice upgrade and it looks so darn neat! let me know what the collective brain thinks. also, anyone selling alloy wheels for the 87? hub caps?(vw only, no autozone fakies please) ... tony 70 bug 73 superbeetle 82 westie 84 westie 87 gl
