Anyone know where to get these, ive looked everywhere i can think of and theres none in online shops, and none ever come up on ebay.

Its the round plug that the bumper sits on, it clips into the bodywork.

Best off getting genuine ones, i had couple of sets off ebay for my mk2 and they snapped really easily, went to the stealers and they were only around 5-10 quid and lasted alot longer.

depends how low the bumper is.if it was like mine and scrapped everywhere they do snap easily cos of the bumper being forced upwards.
dont know how good genuine ones are as i never had them.

What i dont get is, it looks as if the big bumper ones have 2 plugs into the bodywork, but i only have 1 hole either side.

on the drilling front, when the car got resprayed they may of welded the spair holes up of fillered them. there easy enough to redrill though. or rock small bumpers

I'd go back to small bumpers mate, will look much smarter! But if you want to stick with big bumpers you should be able to drill the wings to fit the mountings
