The bumpers, attachments for the VW Bus T2 include complete bumpers as well as numerous components for fastening, covering and completing them.

As the components differ according to installation position and, in some cases, production period, you should carefully check which component is required for your VW Bus T2 before making a selection. Especially during restoration or when replacing damaged parts, correctly identifying the individual components is important.

Why Are Bumpers, Attachments Important on the VW Bus T2?

The bumpers, attachments together form a system of larger body components and smaller installation elements. The bumper itself shapes the front or rear area, while brackets and fastening parts are required for the intended installation. Cover panels complement certain rear bumper versions, while seals are used on the corresponding bumper covers. There are also cover caps for bumper bolts and rubber strips for bumper overriders. The category therefore shows that replacing a bumper is not only about the large main component. Smaller attachments can also be relevant for the respective version and for complete installation.

When Should I Inspect or Replace Bumpers, Attachments?

Checking the bumpers and attachments is advisable when visible damage, deformation, missing fasteners or damaged covers are noticed. In addition to the bumper itself, inspect the associated brackets, bolts, cover panels, caps, seals and rubber parts. Particularly during dismantling or restoration work, you can determine whether individual fastening components are missing or no longer match the existing bumper version. Replacement may be necessary if a component is clearly damaged or if a different version is required for the relevant vehicle area. Fixed replacement intervals are not the decisive factor; condition, installation position and correct assignment to the vehicle are more important.

What Is Important When Selecting and Installing Bumpers, Attachments?

When choosing bumpers, attachments, you should select the individual components according to installation position, production period and specific version.

• Determine front or rear: First check whether you require a bumper or attachment for the front or rear area of the vehicle.
• Compare the production period: The category page lists bumpers and accessories for different periods, for example 1967–1971, 1967–1972 or from 1972 onwards.
• Check the attachments as well: When replacing parts, also inspect brackets, bolt sets, cover panels, seals, caps and rubber elements for completeness and condition.
• Consider the version: In addition to installation position, compare the specific version, such as chrome-plated, black or primed, where stated for the respective component.

Especially when dismantling, it is advisable to record the position and assignment of the existing components. This makes it easier during later reassembly to determine which fastening parts and attachments belong to the respective bumper.

Which Bumpers, Attachments Fit My VW Bus T2?
