Big bumpers, 90+ spec arches and trim

[Silky]

Is this stuff easy to get hold of ?
I've got an 89 16v with the small bumpers and the big trim down the side, is it an easy swap over from one set to the other ?

bumpers are a piece of wee. very easy to get at scrappy or brand new from gsf or the like. but not too sure about the rubbing strips. got a niggly thought in me head that the fixing holes are different. you could always weld the hole and bond the trim on or something like that ? personally i have a 1990 mk2 and dont have any rubbing strips on it. i think it looks loads better but thats just me. i think it all depends on what sort of look you are after.

WIll have to look at local scrappies then (once i've found one) for the bumpers. I'm after the 90+ look as mine is an 89, wanted the smaller side trim and the nice arches and bumpers.
Did any of them come with side skirts ?

got a mint front bumper for you if your interested. Unpainted. PM sent bruv

Cheer Blue, have seen the PM and will reply.

So does anyone know if the late Mk2 side trim will go straight on once I've taken the early bigger trims off ?

What about arches and bumpers, are they easy to swap over ?

i did this on a drive and it went on ok, only problem i had was the pre 90 spec strips had dug into the paint work leaving a long white line of primer

im sure the 90 spec side trims sit above(on top of) the swage line, where the older ones sit below it.
90 spec trim

pre 90 spec


 if your paints not to bad underneath it I think you should be ok. as said above bumpers and arces are easy enough

no they both sit in the swage line look at the top edge in comparison to the top of the bumper edge on both piccys.
