172/182 Front bumper on a 1.2?

[L.Alves]

Just bought a cheap 172/182 bumper off ebay, its got 1 crack in it and needs resprayed black anyway to match my car. Shouldnt be too much hassle to fix it up. But what ive heard is that RS front bumpers dont sit properly on 1.2's beacuse they have different front wings. How difficult is it to sort. Advice from somebody who has fitted the RS front bumper on a 1.2 would be appreciated and some photos of the process too
Cheers

Have a search mate there's plenty of threads on it. It's a case of patience and fibreglass/ filler or finding sport wings and arches.

As said. Just get sport wings. Easiest thing. If not its a lot of work to get it to fit standard wings.
You will need spacers on your wheels though, because sport wings are slightly wider, so your wheels will most likely look lost!
There is a guide in the guide section iirc.

Cheers for the advice mate, how much do front wings come in at?

Not sure I'm afraid mate.
Not too dear. Take a look in the for sale section at people breaking their Clio's to see a rough price.
Could try Ren Spares in the trader section. Or put up a wanted post.
