Are wagon bumpers the same as saloons?
 
Hi Guys.
I'm after a Mica green rear bumper for my 2000 classic wagon as I had a car hit me up the arse yesterday at very slow speed in the snow.:eek: No damage to his car but mine suffered abit of bumper damage in the centre and the number plate light brackets are bent.:rolleyes:

I could get this bumper repaired but will try to get one in the same colour first to save a bit of hassle.
The reason for my question is there's one on ebay albeit not mint but it say for wagon or saloon.:confused:

If he hit you then I wouldnt be buying 2nd hand, off to the dealer and get a full new one including all the brackets, then the cost of re painting etc.

I know the person that hit me so it makes it a bit hard.
I don't think he's got alot of cash so easier to just sort it out myself.

They are the same :) I have a saloon bumper on my wagon and I gave my old bumper to my mate who put it on his saloon :)

The classic wagon bumpers were narrower as the narrower wagon attracted less tax in japan.................when the Newage came out I think they made the wagon and saloon the same width...I think :)

I'm sorry Midlife, but you have been miss informed somewhere along the way. :wonder:

All classic Wagons & Saloons share the same fittment front & rear bumpers (this applies to both european & jdm import models) ;)
