info on fiting a 172/182 bumpers onto a 16v

[boyce]

im looking to get hold of a 172/182 front and rear bumper to go onto my 2002 1.6 16v Dynamique.
Does anyone have a website or a detailed old thread with a guide on fitting them?

about how much should i be looking to pay for the bumpers?

Also how much am i looking at to get them sprayed from prima to black?

I have seen a 182 bumper fitted on a 1.4l that had not had new wings or skirts, it looked very well done and was going for sale on ebay a few months ago. if only i had hept the item ID then i could show you.

the bumpers that i was thinking about getting were;

It must be do able as this guy had it done but if its really going to be that amount of work i could just get it colour coded... but thats exactly what everyone else has done.

If you don't want to get wider wings (can't say as I blame you, lots of hastle) but indeed want to kit her up, you could always look on the following link to find a kit you like, then do a search on ebay to see if anyone has one going cheap. Just an idea for you.

I hope this helps.

^ more hassle to try and bodge the bumper on to be honest. The only person whos done it 'properly' is Has who had to get the whole front bumper remoulded to fit his wings at a substantial cost. You wont be able to have arch liners etc etc with bodging it on. Get the wings and sideskirts if you really want to do it, rear bumper is a straight fit. However i'm not a great fan of just sticking a 172 bodykit on, colourcoding looks just as good imo. Spraying depends on where you are, prices can range between 150 quid to around 400 depending on quality. Also dont even attempt to bodge the front bumper on yuorself if thats what u decide to do, its a lot of hassle. bumpers your looking at around 80 quid for rear and about the same for the front second hand. Try a place like cliospares or keep your eye on ebay.
