I know that 5d is a bit wider, not sure if bumpers fit.

Its been done by super stroogle [Stu] he did it on his 5dr abarth ..personally I preferred the 5dr bumper with the spoiler fitted to it it had more individuality than the 3dr bumper on a 5dr

I was tempted too ... i did like the 3 dr bumper.. but since redoing the front end of my car... i do prefer the 5 dr one... it suits the car more

do like the front valance though... tempting

Looks brilliant when done just watch the speed bumps with it if your cars lowered

Befor I had new front springs I had nothing but grief with it but when the new standard springs went on I could hop over speed bumps at any speed no problemo

I think the Lester bumper looks a bit to heavy and over sculpted for the quite angular lines of the Stilo, the 'organic' flowing shape makes it look like the car has a beak in my opinion.
I really like what Steely has done to front of his car, the solid colour I think really defines the shape of the bonnet and carved wings.
Of all the cars I have ever seen with other model body work grafted on they always seem to have gaps or creases where panels are bent and flexed to fit.

good threads never die

to save pm'ing members, and thus sharing the wealth, does anyone have anything further to add to the title? (stu / phil?).

i'm thinking of either a standard 3 door bumper or a schuey for my 5 door as i prefer the lines rather than the apparant blandness of the 5 door bumper.

i'd appreciate some ideas of what needs doing / amending to make it fit - and what exactly the "minor fit difference" acutally is.
cheers

Here's a pic of stu's old car from his gallery (I'm sure he wont mind )



I believe it's at the headlights where it doesn't fit exactly, but not really noticable unless you really look at it.

No worries

Yep, it was around the headlight area - can also see a gap to the bottom left of the light, on the O/S wing.

However, I was pleased with the end result.
