Rear bumpers

Recommended Posts

Just a quick question. Are the rear bumpers the same across all models?

 

Thanks

 

Andy

 

not quite, minor cosmetic differences in the groove running round the top, not much more IIRC

later rear-bumpers are wider than the early ones by about 20 mm each side, and as mentioned above, the swage line around the bumper is slightly wider and extends further alond and down compared to early ones, but app. they mount in the same way.

 

Cheers and HTH

Thanks for the help guys. I'm in the process of getting my '93 VR6 re-sprayed and wanted to source a better rear bumper. Was not sure which car would be best. Seen lots of G60 bumpers on ebay but not VR6. Does the same apply for the front as i have already got a spare G60 bumper?

 

Thanks

Will there be any issues with the fitment due to the extra width? Or is the inside of the bumper the same width as the early models and its just the out side of the bumper thats wider?... if that makes sense :lol:

Yes, G60 bumpers WILL fit VR6 models no probs, same fitment etc, the inside widths are the same, it's just the outside widths that are diff, and tbh I prefer having a wider rear ;-)

So if they are different widths, does that mean they will not line up with the rear arches, will they be too short? Does the same apply for the front? Looks like i will be best off trying to find bumpers from the same year car then, just to be safe.
