I cannot figure out how & where this fits inside the bumper If "hooters" means horns, then there was only 1. The horn bracket goes on the left bumper bracket. Sorry, I don't remember exactly how it looks or mounts. I don't remember that any of this had any rubber or plastic on it, however, so that may not be an OE part. > The front bumper also has a strengthening 'U' shaped piece that fits > into the centre & thru 2 holes in the lower valance - does this have 2 > concertina like bellows that fit inside the body ? Yes, these have to be installed in the spare tire well BEFORE you try to install the U-piece. The concertina pieces have 1 square end and one angled end; the angled ends face forward, and both ends should snap into the holes in the body. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
