Hi all.

Cheers for the pics conker, looks the genuine part (sad pun intended) :wink:

Blue and Darnpistonbroke never really asked about the "bumper skin" at the dealer. Did not even know such a thing existed!

I assumed the whole bumper is in 2 parts.........



i.e: part one and two are not seprable.....part three splitter is removable

I have managed to locate a bumper in a scrapyard near northampton!
Its "mint" except that one of the bumper clips is broken (apparanty I can use the ones on my current bumper to replace this??)

Folks can anyone tell me if this looks like the real deal? the bottom splitter was pinched and it aint the best pic but the side trim and bumper dont look right, anyone advise as it the one thing stopping me from buying it.

Go for it, it's a Gplate so could be 89 or 90 and the big bumpers were standard from part way through 90.
The side mouldings are pre 90 so all it means is that someone has swapped the small bumpers for the 90 spec ones, it's a really common mod so I would say nothing to to wrry about.
Go for it.

Thanks Tom, i think it was because some thieving git had pinched the lower spoiler that it looked odd.
