Default Fitting a WRC bumper??

Hi guys,

Looking at getting a wrc bumper for my project build but having looked at many pictures on ebay etc.. it looks like you only get a skin and not a full direct replacement bumper...

Can anyone add any info as to how they need fitting, where I can get one from (other than ebay) and anything to look out for when fitting.

Cheers
Dan

theres a guy on ebay called paul who does all replica parts, not bad by all accounts, but do not expect anything like a std factory bumper, its built for rallying so cheap is alway the key, we knock them off often enough, the overall fit can tend to be poor if your a bufty type

Yeah I am after the weight saving element of the parts so bad fit is part and parcel with these kind of parts. I was more worried about how they fit to the car....do they fit in the standard way on the same mountings or will I need to modify anything? as any mods reqired need to be done before it has paint.

Thanks for your help Markk

You will need some spacers made up for the sides & a plate on the front then bond them to your wrc bumper then fit it all up you can get a good fit with abit of trimming also you have to cut the towing eye bolt off.or you can just drill through the sides & front & have exposed screws
i hope this helps

Yes that helps matey might go for some aero catches on it then it'll be easily removed then...the cars never going to be left anywhere so not a problem there.
