there are 2 types available Smoothies... n double bump.

Double bump look crap, ( my opionion) i like the smoothies... there around 1.5 to 2 inches wider.

There available from VVDS i think around $200.00 each.

Make sure you fit each guard to your car first before you go pre and painting them. All guards have to be drill for attach bolts, headlights, taillights and bumpers... etc etc

thanks heaps guys i'm jumping for joy :bounce yet i was just curious, the guards i have at the moment are double bump, with EH headlights, can i fit them in regular smooties.

Also where can i look and compare the two, double bump and smooties?

What do you mean " can i fit them in regular smooties. ""

I dont think theres any need to look at the Smoothies... as there the same as a STOCK guard only wider. they have same curve and style

I still hate double bump... they give the appearance that a bit of a guard has been stuck or bolted onto the existing guard. NO flowing lines at all. I bet that how thw origional moulds were made years ago.

Do you mean mount the EH headlights in the smoothie guards? I assume if the use the regular VW mounting brackets or even the sealed beam tabs in some of the later guards it shouldn't be a problem, if they use something different can u fabricate new brackets?
