[Keval]

Hey people wanted to ask a few questions about the bumpers

was wondering is it a stright fit on?

also i will be doing it myself no money left to go to the mechainics..

how many bolts are they to take out?

isit a easy job?

thanks

Yes, you can replace the bumper but you ideally need to replace the wings as well otherwise it will sit odd.

The arch sizes are different which means the bumper will sit too far forward for the wheel arch. Looks pap basically.

You can use Marea wings or bravo HGT wings they are identical.

Whats the exact difference between marea/HGT and std bravo wings ?

 

[Keval]

thats the thing i dont get?:S

i think the hgt ones are more winder? if am correct.

why do you want to change the bumper anyway ????
alot of hassle for just a bumper as you already have fogs in the one you have

there is very little difference between them other than they are a little wider hence the need for hgt/marea wings and the difference in the wings are the indicators are different and they bulge out more

just can't get enough of the marea love

 

[Keval]

i want to change them bcoz i love the marea front end..

also will there be any differance if i leave the wings i got on right now and just put on the bumper? will that look alright? or do i have to change the wings aswell?

thanks
