Forgive me if my skills of observancy suck but just wondered if there was any difference between MY96 and MY99/00 rear bumpers with regards to styling?

Or are all rear bumpers on classics the same? Never really paid much attention.

Thanks.

 

earlier ones have a kind of strip moulded into it, later ones are smoother

i'll try and find some pics

 

ahh yes, makes sense now. I have an MY96 and belive it has the strip that you mention.

Would prefer a smoother rear bumper, everywhere seems to do front facelift bumpers but not rears

late

 

to be honest mate i didn't even notice there was a difference until about after a year after i had my car

keep your eye on ebay and for people breaking cars on here, they crop up quite often and i don't think there is much of a price premium compared to earlier ones

 

I noticed it on my first MY96 car in white .... having to run the edge of a cloth all the way along the strip to try and clean it!!

 

Nice one, thanks for your replies. appreciated.

 

You have PM

 

could an early rear bumper be smoothed out in a bodyshop to look like a late one? and will it then be identical????

 

Would look better .... but not identical!!

Would it be worth it?? .... quite easy to obtain 2nd hand!
