 Funny, just today I was over at Daun Yeagley's house...we talked about
other options for the stock MK1 bumpers (US).  It so happens that Daun's
sister has a 90 Jetta GLI that was recently bumped in the front...she
ended up with a brand new bumper cover...so the scraped one was sitting
around and out of curiosity I held it up to the front of my 81. 
Ooohhhh!!!  It really could look sweet!  I don't have a clue how to do it,
but would this bumper cover really fit (if trimmed, modded...)?
Hmmm...I've never seen one of these on a MK1 rocco...anyone know if it
could be done (and look nice)?
