and 172 rear bumper would it look alright with the 182 front bumper ?

 

[kic]

172 & 182 fronts are the same iirc,

 

[Hazza]

kic- Wasn't what he was asking! LOL

Frank - It will look alright, but the ph2 1*2 rear bumper would look much better.

 

[kic]

am lost :S

 

[cat171]

^ me too, your answer is correct.


- he isn't asking if he should put a phase 1 172 rear bumper on his car, he doesn't say. As he probably has a mk2 ph2 car he wouldn't want to fit an earlier bumper on it.

 

[Hazza]

Isn't a 1.2 16v sport a Mk2 Ph1 car like LauraYorks? (u shld know Cat)

 

[cat171]

He mentions 182 bits in his past threads, but there are no pics of his car. So it's anyones guess what he has lol ! I'm going with mk2 ph2 though, it may not be a 'sport' he may just think it is, who knows ??

 

[Hazza]

In his profile pic its a campus sport.....

But i reckon he wants to put a ph1 172 rear bumper on the back and a ph2 172/182 front bumper on the front.

Nah, that would just be silly.

frank1990 - have you got a clio campus ??

 

[Hazza]

Would look silly yeah... but guess its a cheaper option, as the ph1 172 rear bumpers are a lot cheaper than the ph2 172/182 rear bumpers.

We shall await franks reply.

 

[kic]

if it is i'll change my answer to "no it wont look alright" lol

 

[frank1990]

yes i do have a clio campus sport and yes its a mk 2 phase 2 lol

 

[cat171]

^ right, next question. I think you want to fit a mk2 172 rear bumper to it, am I correct ??

 

[Hazza]

mk2 ph1 172 rear bumper

or

mk2 ph2 172 rear bumper

(both are different)

 

[cat171]

^ stop splitting hairs !

 

[Beef-Mc]

Worst thread ever tbh.

 

[Craig]

^ right, next question. I think you want to fit a mk2 172 rear bumper to it, am I correct ??

sounds like that craig. and wants to fit a 182 front bumper to it instead of a 172 which are the same so it doesnt matter

 

[Curley]

My money is with Kic being right and the thread could of ended there

 

[r1chardson]

lol what a mess xD

 

[frank1990]

a mk2 phase 2 lol

 

[cat171]

You can do it yeah, but where are you going to put your rear number plate ?

 

[frank1990]

true will me original bumper be alright left on then ?

 

[joshread]

basically..there is no difference between a 172 and a 182 FRONT bumper.fullstop.

And the difference between a 172 rear bumper and a 182 rear bumper is just the exhaust cut outs. the 182 rear has two cut outs in the middle of the bumper..the 172 doesnt have any cut out in.

the rear bumper, whether its from a 172 or 182 WILL fit straight onto your car.

the front bumper will need the 172/182 wings to fit but im sure you already know that!

thread over?

 

[frank1990]

ye i already know that ye i think we should call this thread a night lol
