86 Polo's [as in 86 code not year] are all the same 'basic' components that are relatively interchangeable, suspension set up, dimensions etc. But the difference in appearance between mk1 and mk3 is massive.

Never seen three 2g-4g preludes sat next to each other to see the size differences etc personally... Hence asking?

Hey love

I would get my bumpers of the red to you but they wouldnt fit in my car... Any chance you could bring your lovely wheels to me? Its an hour drive I gues

Becca does have 2 decks though? So that could still work?

Are you looking for front and rear bumpers, I dont think rear one will fit the 'deck as its boot smaller

maybe I am wrong

Why don't you each remove a bumper at home, take a couple of measurements and compare?

Thanks for the offer! Was out your way the other week should have posted before

Measurements would give a rough idea, but I'd still need to try one to know all the angles and curves are right :[ harder to measure that!

If anyone has any idea of the differences between the 2G and 3G bumpers or has compared them before any info on that would be great as the 2G ones 100% fit, I'm just a little bit more in love with the 3G bumpers and it's never been done before

...they bend, don't they? If it measures up you'll get it to fit..
