Fitting 172 Back Bumper.

[Ed]

When fitting it, do i need the 172 wheel arches? Is it a must?

 

[jesus]

No.

 

[Ed]

thanks.

 

[Sam]

Your standard ones wont fit, i put a self tapper through the under of the back bumper to stop mine flapping about. But like JME said, it isnt a must to have them in matey!

 

[Coby.]

Its not a must but it will make it all look so much tidier na OE...... I wasn't going to bother on the GF's Dynamique until I had the Bumper on and realised the Arch Liners ddn't fit properly so got some 172 one's and it looks so much better IMO of course.

 

[jesus]

They'll keep your car a lot cleaner both underneath and outisde if you do have them. I've ran without for a good few months and underneath my car is like a sandpit.

 

[Ed]

Right, i just think its another expense. Im not going to bother.

 

[James.f]

you fitted it yet ? doesnt take this long

 

[Ed]

I got it the other day, i just need it spraying. Then i will fit it!

 

[James.f]

oh right, you going to spray it yourself?

its about 10 bolts to take off the 1.2 bumper... take out the 1.2 arches and fit the 172 bumper on... i did it within 30mins, and i was a newbie back then...

damm i made that sound too good

Enough time for me to seek out liners etc!

Good luck finding a set from anywhere but a Renault dealer!

Leave the fecker! Just stick yer bumper on and be done with it.

The cars at the scrappy, and i will have to go and take it off. The thing is will i have enough tools in with my spare wheel to undo it? to take it off

PMSL just remove a 172 bumper with a tool from the spare wheel toolkit
