Mk2 Ph2 front bumper on a Ph1

[V1NNY]

How hard is this to do and what parts would be needed? thanks

 

[The Big Yin]

Its been done on a mk1 clio , i assume you would need to have some plastiwelding done at the top to remove the diamond other than that its probably quite easy - pointless as the ph1 looks more aggressive IMHO

 

[M1TCH]

you think so yin? im not sure it does. Vinny I don't think it would look anything special, your cars well mint already with the 172 look.

 

[V1NNY]

Thinking of doint the whole front end so its like the ph2 lights the triangular ones, and new bumper and wings etc

 

[The Big Yin]

I would imagine you would need new wings,bumper,bonnet , front panels , lights and possibly some re-wiring

 

[V1NNY]

Want to change it from a ph1:

to a ph2:

I was wondering if this was possible or if anyone had done this before?

 

[Djw John]

Yeah it is possible and as Big Yin says you need all that stuff and possibly a new slam panel.
HAve you put a 172 bumper on with standard wings?

 

[V1NNY]

Yeah my bumper now is of prima's 172 front bumper replica but its damaged as someone reversed into me, i have now got a set of 172 front bumpers and wings, i need the sideskirts now. but i was thinking as i need all that lot sprayed, how hard is it to have all the ph2 stuff

 

[The Big Yin]

If your handy with a spanner id imagine you could do it all bar the welding on the front panel and slam panel not hard work IMHO but is it worth it ???

 

[M1TCH]

vinny you car looks rude as it is/was. have you got a pic of the damage that t**t did to it?

 

[V1NNY]

yeah got a picture, here its is, this is after i had put the light back into place and had a little fiddle with the bumper then remembered to take a pic:

 

[M1TCH]

ooo thats proper harsh mate! can see why you would want to put a ph2 on, gonna cost a bit to find another 172 front and get it sprayed. a ph2 front went on ebay for £10 just down the road from me the other day.

 

[V1NNY]

Never found out who done it, i have got myself 2 172 front bumpers and a set of wings but they need painting, so i was just looking into how much it would cost to get the ph2 onto mine

When the UK Clio Cup changed to the face lift silhouette car, they issued update kits.

Might be worth talking to a team if possible. Team Think who post on here might be able to shed some light on the parts you need.

 

[V1NNY]

yeah will pm him but i think hes in america at the minute

 

[SeanM86]

What wing mirrors have you got? look different to standard. 172 bumper was nice

 

[V1NNY]

Cant remember, i dont remember changing them

 

[hydeyho]

Don't forget, you'll need the ph2 bonnet too. Prima Racing converted a ph1 172 into a ph2 to fit their super 1600 kit, should be too hard, just a case of swapping over the parts and rewiring the fogs and lights.

 

[V1NNY]

so i need, lights, bonnet, wings, bumper and slam pannel maybe

 

[theduck]

sounds about right. what colour are the wings and bumpers you have? if they are monaco blue i might want if your selling
