Yeah, it looks like that from certain angles. I've noticed that in pics of my own car, and others. Always thought it was odd that VW didn't "square off" the bottom of the engine cover which would have allowed them to move the rear bumper about 3 inches closer to the body. Its amazing the number of VWs you see where the engine cover just barely clears the bumper, or actually hits it ...obviously due to a nudge on the bumper.
The engine cover on my '66 Sedan clears the bumper less than 1/4".Digger89L wrote:Yeah, it looks like that from certain angles. I've noticed that in pics of my own car, and others.
