Big bumpers on early 16v

[clipperjay]

No mould lines and yes I had suspicions the bumper was aftermarket, but its a good quality one, but brackets have me worried.
 
Maybe pictures if the bumper inner mounts will help to decide if geniune ones will go right in?




Looks like the configerations of those mounting tabs will go on the OEM ones looks like the bracket I have mounts only in two places you can see the rust dust on only two holes?

Im in too minds at the moment with mine, nearly managed to sorce all the parts to convert mine to 90 spec. mine is a 88 16v with a 20vt. ive got everything tucked into the bay for a stealthy look but idealy would like to move the intercooler low down into the big bumper mouth to free up some space for a big rad. I like the look of both but always had a soft spot for the 90 spec's.

For me the only time it wouldnt work if your not using the 'full' kit ie small sides etc and the doors are the 2 piece ones.

What you mean by the doors, Does this mean that if i get the  90 spec kit,
They wont fit because i have  88 doors

No he Means the small door trim that fits a 90 Spec car

Yes....

Straight Plug in... I would check the condition of the paint under them 1st...

When doing a 90 Spec Conversion you need;

90 Spec Arches,
90 Spec Side Trim,
90 Spec Lower Sill covers with mounts.
Big Bumpers (Front & Rear) with new Wing Hangers.

Yeah the paint should be ok, As its being fully stripped and painted as we speak,
I already got the big bumpers on it, 
it just had the pre 90 spec side trim and stuff,
