The old American bumpers for Beetle and Karmann Ghia have been fitted with brackets to improve safety. To better support these large bumpers, they are mounted on the body with additional rods
At the point where the bumper support passes through the body, this protective rubber must be fitted for a neat finish.
For the Volkswagen Beetle you need 4 pieces for the front and rear. With the Karmann Ghia you only need two, with the Karmann Ghia they are only used at the front.
