172 mk1 front bumper help

[V1NNY]

Is it possible to get a 172 bumper on a non 172 without the side skirts or wings etc. Could it be cut to fit or something like that?

 

[benji&eka]

doubt it

Not that Im aware of - would look naff if you could anyway.

 

[V1NNY]

Couldnt you have new brackets built for it so it would fit?

 

[dutty_112]

nope the bumper is more flared

 

[Clarkie172]

what dutty said^ u need the arches to match

 

[Day]

Its wider for a start!

 

[V1NNY]

Yeah thats why i wanted to cut it down, do you need to have the skirts as well as the wings if i cant get it cut down

 

[dutty_112]

yup gotta have wings n skirts

Anything can be made to fit if you throw enough time / money at it. But it is wider, and would prob be cheaper to get hold of bumper, wings, and skirts than mod the front bumper.

Well i got a simular type front bumper from prima and was just looking at how much it would cost to get the real thing

Taken from cliospares >

Front bumper @ £110.00 + vat

Wings @ £45.00 ea. + vat

Side skirts @ £75.00 ea. + vat

So thats £411.25 + painting (dont pay for fitting as its a piece of piss and costs a fortune to have a bodyshop do it for you) for brand new genuine Renault parts, some of these parts pop up on ebay so its worth a check, or speak to j3ned
