Guest Posted December 19, 2003 AFAIK Reiger's not released photos or a catalogue with details of this bumper yet so I can't point you in the direction of it... :? ']['H3R4POR, It's definately NOT that bumper... :? The closest one I can find is the GRP (fiberglass) one on the Venom site... bah, they all look the same ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted December 20, 2003 Right, I've got the bumper now and it does seem to be quite well made... It doesn't look like it mounts on to the iron work exactly how the original did, and it's an RS4 style one, so has the exit grilles on the following edges of it. I'm not overly impressed with the finishing of the edges where it's been cut, but they won't take long to sand down... 8) Rieger have got a picture in their catalogue, it was just me being thick, the only difference between the one in the picture below and the one I just bought is that mine's plastic, not fiberglass... (yeah, and it's not yellow or fitted to a car yet either... :roll: :lol: ) It's all dark, wet and horrible outside at the moment, but I'll post up as I fit this to my car and let you know how good / bad the fit is... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted December 31, 2003 Right, I got my backside into gear and took some photos of the bumper to let you lot know what you get for your money... 8) Firstly, let me point out that this is the RS4 style bumper and as such may be different to the RS2 one that I ordered due to the side vents being where the original mounts should go... I've actually got this RS4 one due to a joint foul up in communications, :roll: so I'm going to remove the side vents, plastic weld up the holes and then plastic weld the original hangers (which I've cut out of my original bumper) into this new skin. This should then allow the bumper to be fitted exactly the same way as the original one with the ironwork and "cotton reels"... 8) The kit consists of the ABS bumper skin(duh!), 2 strips of inch thick double sided sticky foam, a tube of sikaflex, mesh to cover the lower vent holes, a load of rivets and some self tapping screws... Oh and a nasty pink booklet with the instructions written in German... :roll: From what I can translate, the idea is that you rivet the bumper to the ironwork through the indicator/fog light holes, using the 2 sticky foam strips (about 18" long each) behind the numberplate recess to attach it firmly there. Then you sikaflex any part of the ironwork that touches the bumper to ensure it's stuck well... I've not yet done this, but it appears to be a very good fit. I can confirm that the fogs and indicators plonk straight in with no hassles whatsoever... 8) To get around the problem of the side vents being where the "cotton reel" hangers are, the instructions suggest that you screw the inner wheel liners to the bumper to give it support using 5 screws each side... If I have no luck in sourcing any ABS to plastic weld these vents out, I may well give this a go and see what happens... :? The bumper is a really nice fit, even just balancing it onto the front of the car shows this, it's made of 2.5mm thick ABS and is reasonably finished on all of the parts you'd see when it's on the car... Anyway, here's a load of photos... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
