The Abarth Front Bumper Can I Keep it?

Two things really

1. Couple of weeks ago some flid hit my car in a car park while trying to park, they dented the front passenger wing, bent and cracked the front bumper on the top half. Altho it is now fixed wit some plastic welding and the dent removed the bumper is still bent and doesnt seem to fit right up tight to the body work anymore, it seems to drop down. The garage also said the bumper had been hit before wit the previous owner and is bent in the places where it is held on.

Now as the bumper is an orignal Abarth and i want to keep the bottem half which was not damaged (as the replica is slightly different) is it possible to buy a normal sporting bumper and replace the bottem half wit my abarth style.

Wat i dont know is does the replica only come as the bottem half and you have to attach it to your exsisting bumper, as thenif it does i know it can be done.

2. Also the previous owner had bashed the rear bumper which has caused it to bend right in the center under neath where the boot joins. For the rear bumper want the Storm 1 apron as i have a dual center exhaust and the abarth apron doesnt suit it. For this do i need to buy another sporting rear bumper and the storm 1 apron and then cut up and attach the storm apron to the old sporting bumper.

Cheers for anyhelp.

Front Abarth apron is separate to the normal bumper, you should be able to remove it and fit it to a new standard bumper. There's a bit needs hacking out of the standard bumper to get it to fit though.

Is that a standard sporting bumper correct? And is that the same for the rear wit a storm apron on aswell?

Front - standard Sporting, yep.

Rear - I think so, maybe ask ladinnotts. He's got one fitted on his.
