Marea bumper help

[Loose Cannon]

Basically, i might be able to get the Marea ELX front bumper for my Bravo. Can anyone confirm this is the bumper that some have swapped with their standard Bravo one?

If this is the case, can someone point me in the direction of a few pics of Bravos with this front bumper, and also how much of a job it would be to swap them over (or any other relevant points!).

Cheers in advance guys

Not exactly sure about this but I think the marea has a slightly wider front and so would only fit straight onto a HGT Bravo - don't take my word for it though

can't help much but do know it has definatly been done and does require minor modificatiob to do however.

I've seen a few bravo's with them fitted and the bumper is wider as the marea has the same front wings as the hgt if i'm right. When fitted on a normal bravo/a though the bumper ends up slightly shorter where it joins the wing from photos i remember seeing, not massively noticable though. Searching should bring up older articles with pics as well.

Umm...i think the one in your sig is the one.
It is this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1997-FIAT-MAREA-20V-ELX-GREY_W0QQitemZ200009796096QQihZ010QQcategoryZ9843QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

So, as a summary...the bumper WILL fit a bravo...but only a snug fit for the HGT...but for my SX, it won't fit, or will need some work to fit? :s

Wish i knew how hard it would be, if it needs work

Been quite a mission to find but here is Ben's Bravo with a red marea bumper....

Take a gander at 1st row, 4th along. And 3rd row, 1st along.

You can clearly see there is a misalignment where the wing and bumper do not match.

Yeah it fits but they do ideally need HGT wings to marry against.

HTH!

Damnit! I like that bumper, though don't think I'll be happy with the misalignment

Thanx for the pics, Ins.

What about getting some Marea/HGT wings?

Bit of a faff but you could slap on some wings to match the bumper if you've got your heart set on it.

I know its an old post but its all i could find! Does the Marea ELX bumper need to be cut to fit or just bolt on and admire the gap? also where could i get the bumper! not keen on going thru fiat and the local scrppys tend to have front end damage! Any websites? Thanks!
