Beetl 1600s Rear bumper

Post by sdinath »

Hi guys,

I want to replace the rear bumper on my 1976 beetle 1600s.

Someone has one for sale but the bumper is for a beetle 1968 - 1973 model.

Can this fit on my beetle?

Thanks,
Shaheed

I speak under correction, but I can't see that the rear bumper won't fit. As for the front bumper, the only differences for the (later shaped) Beetles will probably be the rectangular indicators in it or not.

Pine is correct it will fit. Although the S bumper did originally feature a thick rubber beading
