looking at our suppliers at work i can get a new pattern primed 16v bumper cheaper than the standed primed bumper,

my question is is it a direct swap ie the crash bar and the mountings etc, is it just a case of the small type off and slide the 16 v item on

r reg 6n

Yes, old small 8v bumper off, 16v on, same mounting points everything No mods required :-)

Good stuff looks like a new bumper on the way although we don't list thr 16v rear.

Reason for change is looks like it had a bump and a green one fitted and rattle can sprayed red now it's flaking off

ordered today will get this tomorrow £38 all in so hope the quality is good

well its come and not bad either, came plastic primed but will ned a few touches as i want to de burr all the little edges so the paint wont have a chance to flake off at the edges.

just need all the little grills now

should get a few pics of before and afters

Where did you get the bumper from mate, looking to get one to smooth

ordered in from work mate i do a bit of ordering from suppliers and managed to get one

after plastic primer

and a full can of primer

Looking good buddy. That's a good price, second hand go for more.

Your main struggle will be the grilles, if your suppliers can get them then I think a few people on here will be interested.

i know I'm gutted they list the small bumper grill that it, on the cards next is new grill and the valance it clips into.

cant believe the price it says on the receipt oe retail is 185, i only got as i did a one off through our supplier and not going through work cut out the middle man etc but for anyone else i would have to put a little on for the margin

heres after the first round of painting, i managed to get hold of the paint from a company we deal with for the primers and got a crate of 12 sent over i only asked for 2 cans
