Front Bumper Support Bar
So I have a P1 and I need to replace the front Bumper Support bar, does anyone know if they are universal or do they differ from classic Pre/Post face lift and JDM to UK market
Basically i have found these 2 and wondering if wither will fit a Impreza P1 "JDM version" https://www.importcarparts.co.uk/par...y=&searchPart= "Uk Version" https://www.importcarparts.co.uk/par...y=&searchPart= Thanks in advance |
Using my old P1's VIN the part number comes up as 57760FA680
Australia and Japan use 57760FA670 you could always phone them to confirm..... |

Would have thought the top one would be the one your after.

Like all Subarus the P1 is/was a JDM based "production"car built for the UK market and as such has to comply with the UK's "The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986" . |
I've just replace my 99UK bar with a V4 STI bar, although there is a lot more to the earlier one it fits fine with no modification.

Guess the only issue would be if you're running a front mount Intercooler. The JDM spec ones appear to use a different number plate mount, the UK one screws to the bumper itself whereas the JDM one has the number plate mounts built into the bar. |
Where did you get the v4 bumper bar from?
|
Jap Performance Parts in Crawley about 5 years ago, only just got round to fitting it, had the front end off for radiator and cam belt so took the opportunity to do it all in one go.
|
Shouldn't be a problem fitting a UK bar to a JDM car then I guess? I have a FMIC so instead of cutting off those lower bits from the JDM support bar I thought I could just as well order a UK one instead?
|
Should be fine, I'd give it an extra coat of paint before fitting, the paint from the factory is really thin.
|
As for the reasons mentioned above.
