Default RS500 splitter on 90 spec bumper?

Would it go on ok? Sure Twins has done it, but that's no ordinary car

Repro ones at about £60 makes it quite tempting....

Check my resto thread ,you will need a saffy bumper to chop for the bottom section to fit right
You can just make out the saff bumper in magenta

That's looks perfect! Very nice!

I tried looking for more info in the resto thread but there's 100+ pages!!

Have you got another side on pic with the Saph bumper just fitted?
Wonder if a regular MK2 Sierra one would fit... as they're going to be a lot cheaper and easier to find...
I'm guessing the spiltter needs shortened too.

Off topic but I read back and saw thet the Comps are ET35 7.5x17, but what tyre size are you using?
Any need to trim or roll the arches?
Look spot on!

not properly, unless you graft a saff bumper into the lower section of the mk4 bumper

Ok!
Could saff bumper be replace in to the lower section of mk4 bumper with some hand made piece of fiberglass?
I think splitter only need a good suport base to fit it.......
It would be a good solution in case of not having a Saff bumper to break....
But not easy at all!!

if you look at the side of a standard bumper from the front of the car you can see lots of the tyre tread ,with the saff bumper cut in you cant see it any more ,see in my pics,also the saff bumper is cut in up the sides to the hieght of the splitter ,check out my resto ,lots of pics on there
