Post by sophie.wheeler »

Can you fit a 6r bumper straight on to a 6c chassis?

You just need to get new bumper holders and it just clips in :)

Your picture shows a 6c rear bumper not a 6r one ?

Correct, that’s the bumper I’ve fitted to my car, 2011 6r car with 6c front and rear fitted using OEM standards

Picture before:

Very nice indeed.

I thought the original question was regarding fitting a 6r bumper onto a 6c or that's how I read it.

I have a set of 6c bumper brackets in my office if you are interested in them, you would only need a new style bumper then, bolt holes are the same once you have the new brackets.

Tom, I think the OP is looking to fit an old style pre-facelift 6r bumper onto a 6c facelift Polo, not the the other way round.

Yes a 6r bumper fitted to a 6c chassis, just wanted to know if its a straight swap but if you need brackets to do the swap vice versa I'm guessing it's not

these are the 6r ones but the 6c are very similar.
