#1 rear bumper seal fitting

Post by rolando38 » Sun Jul 05, 2015 7:19 pm

I've sent the whole afternoon trying to settle the position of the rear bumper as it happened to be missing the 2 big bolts under each rear light...
I'm not 100% pleased with the result, althuogh I used washers to lower the horizontal central part; it's still a little bit higher than the lateral parts

I had to glue the rubber, though , I could see no way of just inserting it
but the main question remains for me: how does the end of the rubber finish ? I hope I dod'nt cut it too short

Hi Ronaldo....have a look at this link, although its on a S3, however my S2 2+2 is about the same but but fitted a bit sharper around the tight bend... Steve viewtopic.php?t=7441

I put on the smaller size from a ser one.I know it is not original but it looks better i think and bends much easier around the corner at the end.
