It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs. -- Oxford University Press, Edpress News
I'm assuming your talking about the big US-spec "safety bumpers"?
You could always fit some European spec ones, they're like the thinner earlier post 68-style bumpers, but have the indicators in the edges. Actually, they're the same as new Mexican Beetles.
I think you will need new bumper irons to replace those strange impact ones.

Thebumpers are the big ugly ones with the Shocks. I just removed 1" from themiddle and put it back together by overlapping them. I get compliments likecrazy at the shows. Great protection because they are strong as hell whenyou overlap, yet lets the body show. Some people thought they were stockbecause they fit the body lines perfectly. Regards, Joe
