Default Got an idea for improved rear bumper (w/ NA reinforcement) for the 90

The one piece A6 sedan (96'ish, 97ish) rears are one piece and smoothed with the NA rebar, unlike the fugly two piece NA rear bumpers. I wonder how much modification would be required to transplant one on a 90?

anyone ever considered this?

Just throwing this out there...

Default hmmm, get ahold of an ETKA & see what pieces are associated with the rear...

a mid-90ish Jetta/Passat front bumper may substitute for S2/Cab/RS2/RS4 bumper applications, allowing for retension of the fogs & turns.

check yah later

Default Well, A6 is much wider so you would have to trim it...

probably cut it in the middle and then connect again which would be very hard....You can always do something like this...

take a look at 'evilaudi' pic poster. I am thinking of doing the same thing, the only problem is how would you take it off after its done, well he did it since he has diff. bumper now so I would like to know too.
