Title: Brackets to upgrade from small to big bumpers?
Post by: BiGUKG on 07 October 2010, 16:44

Say it's not true......Aren't the big bumpers just a direct fit replacement?
The cars a H reg 1.3 Ryda.

Also heard stories about the bumper not fitting with fog lights, and holes having to be cut behind so they'll fit and all sorts.

Thought it would be simples  :undecided:

Big bumper cars did not have the lower metal valance that the bib spoiler attaches to on small bumper cars. I would imagine that it would be in the way of BB fog lights.

So I don't need to tart about buying brackets or extra bits - cos it sounds like there's too much metal there as it is?  :rolleyes:

If your going from small bumper to big bumper you just need to take the front valance off easy peasy lemon squeezy  :wink:
