John,
Mk3 front bumpers are not the same and will probably not fit your car, at
least not without significant modifications. They have different mounting
points and no notches cut out of them the way Mk1 & Mk2 bumpers do. The
mounting points are also different for the rear bumpers, but you might
actually be able to get those to work. Not certain though... Perhaps someone
has found a way to make them work. Good luck.
Take care,

Hi Listers, does anyone know of any problems in putting MkIII bumpers on a
MkII. Are the mounting brackets exactly the same. I dont want to go buying
these MkIII bumpers if they dont fit my MkII, so any help will be
appreciated. Thanks
Happy Spitting...................John
