[Jon.L]

to fit does it involve nay mods or do they jus fit straight on?

straight swap

Be warned if you decide to change back, the Ph2 ones would of marked your paint as the edges vibrate against the bodywork.

As the ph1 strips are slightly smaller, this might stand out.

 

[ChrisPearson]

should be straight swap but not for ph1's before 2000

 

[Little Richie]

So a 'W' 2000 would be a straight swap, right?

Why not for those before 2000?

as far as i no you couldnt do it!!
Chris you cant put ph2 bumpstrips on ur car

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

I no you can switch the rear ones but the bullet on the front stips dont fit... i could be wrong but all you can do is try

 

[Hazza]

Ive seen a few Ph1 with the ph2 strips, and looks good not sure how flush the sit tho...

 

[Chrisjk]

Mines a 2000(X) and has ph2 strips on, and yes they do mark the paint a little when you take them off.

 

[Little Richie]

James, not a dig - just a pet hate, try using the "Edit" feature instead of double posting a couple of mins after your first post in the thread.

Haz, I was thinking the same as you and I much prefer the Ph2 bullets and colour coded strips over the black Ph1 items.

Chrisjk, is the rubbing visible while they're on the car, and are there any gaps etc?

Can anyone confirm whether they are a straight swap or not? If not, what's needed to put them on?

Cheers,
Mike

These are 172/182 items and come primered ready for painting.
Prices correct in 2004

However my little tip: Buy the normal ones for a non sport model and you can save ££'s although you will need to paint them.

Slide your strip off and if it looks like this underneath then they'll fit:

However, if it looks like this then they won't fit:

Mike- there is no visible rubbing when the trim is on the car, only when you remove it for cleaning etc

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

yeah thats what i thort, but dude if your gonna paint them your self make sure you get it right first time!

PM me for details, as i have done it before

 

[Little Richie]

Great, thanks guys. This will be top of my list once I get paid - if I get a chance i'll do a guide for those that are unsure.
