Phase 2 rear bumper on a phase 1? Yes or no

[Greg.w]

Hey folks

Got quite a tidy phase 1 172 in pearl black.

Its got black f1s, a cup spoiler, phase 2 rear lights and a skoda splitter. It's also got a twin exit exhaust that ill be replacing with a stealth.

So should I get a phase 2 rear bumper on her aswell? With maybe some colour coded phase 2 side strips?

Opinions and pictures of phase 1s with phase 2 bumpers please

Cheers

I really like them with phase 2 rear bumpers and side strips. But it's nice to keep it looking like a phase 1 too.

I'll vote for yes, the rear bumper makes it allot more meaning business and is wider/lower aswell.
Please don't forget to buy the ph2 arch guards aswell the ph1 ones will not fit

I have done the same to my ph1, in my opinion the ph1 front with the ph2 rear/sides would be :hail:Clio.

No.

Ph2 side strips and ph2 rear lights are all that's needed imo. The boxy ph2 rear end is a complete mismatch for the rounded ph1 front.

 

[Jay Payne]

Im not keen on the lights on their own. All or nothing. Preferably nothing

 

[DanEdser]

yes.

 

[SC03OTT]

No, IMO.

 

[Greg.w]

Any pics anyone?

 

[Knuckles]

yes.

all day long

ph2 lights, ph2 bootlid, ph2 bumper and cup spoiler

anyone who says otherwise is wrong

Rob had a ph2 rear bumper on he's ph1 for a bit. He had some pics in he's progress thread. I dont think it looks right.

 

[Jekyll]

Scott, your wrong

 

[Greg.w]

Is the phase 2 boot lid different aswell?

 

[Knuckles]

Scott, your wrong

nope

 

[Bluebeard]

Is the phase 2 boot lid different aswell?

The boot lid is the same, but the handle/lock is different.

 

[Knuckles]

you cant fit the ph2 boot handle/lock to the ph1 though can you?

 

[SmokeyTheBandit]

Realy interested in this aswell

 

[Rob]

It's always better off to just buy a ph2 bootlid. The lock CAN be fitted, but it's a lot of hassle, lots of drilling etc involved.

 

[Rob]

It does a lot for updating the back end to a degree, but then I went low with badman wheels it looked better on the ph1 IMO:

 

[Scrooge]

Complete ph2 rear end, ph2 dashboard and you have a perfect ph1 IMO.

 

[Rob]

I want to see a ph2 bootlid with a ph1 bumper.

God I miss that car.

 

[Adamm.]

Keep it original IMO.

Just no, the PH1's are starting too age beautifully now.
