Storm 0 Posted February 14, 2004 If I fit VR6 bumpers front and rear to my G60, will they stick Out?, has onyone done this? Any pic appreciated. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3RKD 0 Posted February 14, 2004 depends on what yr the g60 is ...late j plate should be fine... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted February 14, 2004 if your G60 has a ___----___ shaped bonnet, then it already should have the same bumpers as a VR6. If your G60 has a ----___---- shaped bonnet, then VR6 bumpers will still fit, but you'll need the VR6 fogs and indicators unless you want to modify it to get the earlier ones to fit... 8) All 'rado bumpers are the same width, it's just a trim line and the mounts for the indicators/fogs that changed.... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swfblade 0 Posted February 14, 2004 sorry, bit of a newbie question i know, but whats with the ___----___ and ----___----? I get that its obviously something to with the shape, but in reality, what is the difference? :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted February 14, 2004 It's the profile of the bonnet .... the first one has a hump in the bonnet and the second one has a recessed centre bit. I'll try and find some pics. Edit - pic attached of late bonnet - on the early bonnet, the red circled bit is recessed rather than raisd. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Storm 0 Posted February 14, 2004 Its the pre hump bonnet ----___----. Smaller arches etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andycowuk 0 Posted February 14, 2004 Smaller arches etc. how much difference? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3RKD 0 Posted February 14, 2004 Smaller arches etc. how much difference? iirc around 5mm per side ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Storm 0 Posted February 14, 2004 So that means they will stick out 5mm per side, shouldn't notice that much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted February 14, 2004 The bumpers won't show it up much... It's the wings / bonnet gap that'd show it up if you swapped one, but not the other... :| If you have the earlier bumpers, you've got the earlier fogs/indicators at the front which won't fit without modification into the later bumpers... IIRC (I've never done it myself!) It's not a difficult mod to do though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
