Question Bumpers

So everything just swops over, fogs etc. although I think I would need new indicators. Is it a novice DIY job (i.e. are the holes/fixings as before? Anything else to worry about?

good question - mine is being done at the garage (facelifitng the whole front end), so i have no actual experience myself. yes you'd need new indicators... and i think the existing fogs would fit.

probably worth giving Scoobyclinic a call or mail to confirm what's required (if anything other than the bumper/indicators).

mail: kev@scoobyclinic.fsnet.co.uk
tel: 01246-590807

i think it'll be a DIY job - can't see it being too difficult.

Just finished facelifting mine,



I will get some better pics at weekend. basically to do a good job you'll need the front bumper unless you keep it pre MY99, headlights,grill,bonnet, indicators for new bumper,fog lights you can use the old ones

Good luck.

By the way if your after a bonnet tegsport had one a full one in not so long ago and wanted apporx £200 for it with the scoops and vents.

Oh, i was forgetting headlamps - facelift ones are squarer - you'll have dodgy looking gaps if you don't change em!

Thumbs up

SUBTYPER,

yep you are correct - I believe Morty mentions these items in his post, although wheelman only queried the bumper swap - i assume that's all he's planned for now???
