Is there a fog-light blank that fits the PH1 172 bumper?

I've previously removed my fog-lights and modified the housings to improve cooling to the front brakes, but I now want to be able to blank them off when its cold or raining. Was there ever a base model Ph 1 that had blanks instead of the fog lights? If so does anyone know the part number, or the reg of a car that has them and I'll order a set? Thanks Mark

Yup, just go down to the scrappies, plenty of low range models that had colour coded bumpers and fog blanks, Djw Dave picked up some black ones recently and iirc might have some green ones knocking about.

Thanks, were the bumpers the same though? - I did'nt know if the 172 had a specific bumper?

Different bumpers but the fog blanks fit perfectly

A-ha thanks!!

Do you happen to know how they fix to the bumper? - The fog-light surrounds clip in one side and have a screw/s the other side to hold in, the pictures of covers I've found on t'net don't look to have any holes for the screws??

They just clip in all round, 2 second job

Thanks for all your help! - I've found a 2nd-hand set on eBay that will do just the trick.

Shame I have a spare set going you could have mate. Just pay for postage. Although they are Capsicum Red.
