bumper Q

[Gareth 0]

i have an early 91 C and would like to know if the late style front bumper will fit without any mods or other parts.??

yes, bumpers are interchangable... the differences are only cosmetic.... 8)

late bumpers are slightly wider than early ones though so if you have an early C then you may find it sticks out a bit to far under the leading edge of the arch... if you were thinking of doing this to get the late indicators and fogs then you should know that they will fit the early bumper with a tiny bit of modification to the bumper.

well its the indicators and spots that im wanting 2 change ...... what i meen is.... mine are sunk into the bumper by bout 10-15mm i would like them 2 be almost flush.... i was thinking the late bumpers are more flush than mine.... im sure if im wrong then i'll be put rite on this matter..... anyway is it possible 2 get the spots n indicators more flush??

the later spot/fog sits almost flush with the front of the bumper as you describe - they would do this when fitted to an early bumper too 8) (I know this as my C should have a late bumper with fogs/spots but some f'ker had a front end and left it with the early type) So am basicly planning to just swap the fogs/spots for late ones so it is less noticable - just a shame that the swap costs so much and I skint having just spent a small fortune getting the C running right :(

ok so can any1 tell me excactly what the tiny modification is to get the late style spots and indicators 2 fit??

[Phil K 0]

this I'm not sure of as haven't yet done the mod... IIRC when you line the new units up its obvious what you need to remove to get em to clip in. If you get this done before me then let me know how it goes 8)

ok phil will do.... its just getting my hands on the spots n indicators without stealers prices

 

thanx 2 both phil and henny
