How to Fit the Bumper/Beam on a Volkswagen Beetle

Model: Volkswagen Maggiolino MK 1 - Years 1938-1980
Part: Front bumper

Here's how to fit the bumper/metal beam (after having it chromed) on a Volkswagen Beetle: place the seal in the gaps on the car's bodywork, then insert the metal bars of the bumper into the sheet metal. Tighten the securing bolts into the frame threads using a socket spanner (ensure the bolts are tight). Repeat the same mounting procedure for the rear bumper/beam (tighten the bolts with the socket spanner in the car's frame as well). Carefully check the correct assembly of the previously mounted parts.
