My new rear on my mk 2

[ginola45]

Just thought id post some new pics up.

I had a cup rear bumper fitted earlier this week. I werent sure it would fit but my body shop worked some magic for me. I also got it de-locked and got a few scratches took out.

looks alot better than the w*nk standard mk2 ph 1 bumper.

Opinions please.......http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/Ginola45/NewCliopix2.jpg

looks good mate, really tidies up the rear on the ph1! Also works well with the lights and spoiler, good work bud!

 

[Phill1978]

awesome lookin car. but go discreet with exhaust or cut into bumper.

exellent.

 

[RS-Steve]

looks good.

cant be many with dif bumpers on like that.

 

[ginola45]

cheers mate,

Nah i aint seen any mk2 phase 1s with that bumper

 

[Tigger]

nice move!

Ive got that rear bumper too for my 04 - just need the plastic strip that runs along the bottom and a small split mended

that looks mint - 172 bumpers are meaner looking and more symetrical than the others

 

[ginola45]

Yer they do make it look alot meaner,

The only thing that lets the car down now is the engine im afraid.........

 

[Tigger]

why wats your engine?

people sl*g my oil burner lol but i love it

 

[ben_p]

looks mint that m8, ive changed my mrk2 phase 1 bumber to a dynamic one till i can afford the 172 style, where didi ya get yours m8?

 

[Jonaldinho]

Looks nice matey

That bumper is a great improvement.

Not alot write with to b fair mate being a 1.2 8V

But it does the job for me at the moment, I was close to selling a while ago have decided against it for a while until I can get some funds saved.

Mayb a new engine is the final is the way forward but it looks expensive........

 

[Djw Dave]

I like.

 

[182_blue]

looks good, just needs mk2 front

 

[Zorba_the_greek]

Is that car the the Queens???...............HMS

 

[Bryan]

looks nice, but lose the sport badge, it does it no favours

When you say your bodyshop worked some magic...

How much?

Was it simple enough as Im looking at doing the same to my Mk1.5 172.

 

[midge]

i thought thta it just went straight on? im sure the backends are the same so surely the bumper fixing holes will be the same?

 

[wrx-172]

Doesnt half smarten that rear up.... Nice

 

[SteDonaghy]

How much would did the bumper, my cars the same as yours and im thinking about doing it to mine

Nah apparantly the fittings on the 172 bumper are in completely the wrong place to the standard bumper. Im not sure how but my bodyshop had to creat some new fittings some how, any half decent body shop should be able to fit it ,so long as you explain the situation.

I bought the bumper off e-bay for £90

As for the sports badge....it stays

You checked out these new fittings mate as im 99% certain the bumpers have exactly the same fitment?

 

[CocoPops]

My mate from the bodyshop is already aware that it might need adjusting slightly

200% it wont fit straight on without modin the bumper

 

[clio__chris]

mind u bare in mind its a mk2 ph1 with probs a mk2 ph2 bumper........that may make the difference?

 

[Da]

but the Ph1 and Ph2 rears are the same bar the visual aspects. Light clusters = same fitment, Tailgate = same fitment, Spoiler = same fitment, Bumper...hmmm?? I just thought these were the same too?

Im telling you now mate so u dont come across all these problems if you get it done

 

[telford_mike]

Looks good to me mate. Is that a modified Cliosport sticker?

 

[TheCake]

I was under the impression they were identical fitments also... quite a few people have changed their bumpers to the mk2 ph2.

[Mike@Rentech]
