   yes its possible ... the vtr is the same exterior as a flatty, just with a body kit on so yeh the bumpers are interchangeable

   No its not the rear wheel arches on vts/vtr are a different shape. which is why when you fit a full vt kit to a flatty you have to cut out the rear arches.Check mr houston`s thread.The front and rear bumpers though to clarify are fittable.

   So would go on but difficult with wing meeting the flatarch not being the same shape?
   
   Thanks

   It will be the same situatioin you had with the front bumper. You will have to cable tie or do something to hold the corners in without the arches being there.

   you what lol the bumpers screw into the chassis legs of the car so the fitment of it has nothing to do with the arches, what he will be left with tho is a gap from the edge of the bumper to the wing due to not have the arch to make it flush

   could I use the flat arch rear bumper if I had the rest of the VT kit on? I ordered everything except the rear bumper

    That's also what I said if you read properly, same problem with the front, won't sit inline as the arches arnt there.
