US spec bumpers and tailgate

Recommended Posts

I'm afraid this is a bit of a what's it worth question... US spec front and rear bumpers in reasonable condition and a US spec tailgate in good condition except for a tiny bit of bubbling on the bottom lip of the numberplate plinth (US blank type thing).

I know someone selling these but have no idea what they are worth? I dont want to put an advert up with his ridiculous prices! Any help is appreciated as always!

Fancy the rear plate recess too

 

On US-cars not actually a recess, rather than it standing proud. But of course dmensions are those of a US-plate, so a UK plate would look odd (not high enough and too wide).

 

are the rear bumpers deeper?

 

No, neither front nor rear bumpers are deeper than EU ones, fortunately. So no parkbench drama like on US-Roccos :gag:

Unless someone has cut the loom there won't be any wiring in it.... But it doesn't matter as your loom would fit you would just need a plug for the brake light same as bulb loom in behind centre console blacktwin plug

Definitely not a UK option.

 

Looks like either a US tailgate or someone's just added their own aftermarket third brake light. Sure someone with a keener eye will be able to confirm!
