In Reply to: 1) getting the bumpers... posted by andrey on March 14, 2002 at 21:44:27:

the square bumper cars also have different frames, so mounts are completely different too.

Once you remove the rear bumper, you are left with some big holes in the body that you need to cover up...

The Front bumper leaves holes in the fron peice, and new slots need to be cut if you wish to utilize the proper "euro" bumper style mounts. The holes are ther in the fron frame to bolt the mounts to, but the fram ends need to be cut off to be able to do it! You probably *could* make some kind of mount that marries the euro bumper to the existing front mounts, I don't know. When I did it, I was replacing the nose of the car at the same time with a euro bumper nose and it was still a pain in the @ss...

It might look like a simple thing, but it isn't.

Sure looks nice once you are done, though!
