is a 172 front bumper (03) the same as a a 182 front bumper? help asap

[makavelli]

as above is the only difference the lack of a splitter on a 172 bumper?

 

[Fletcher]

I think from looking at pictures they are the same, but i could be wrong.

makavelli are you thinking of buying a Mk2 172 bumper and spraying it?

 

[ant]

cant see how it would be different?

 

[makavelli]

yeah thats the plan cos i rekon there aint gonna be many racing blue fronts around

 

[Middo]

even if you do find a racing blue one at a scrappy, theres almost always going to need a respray. i've just been spraynique in hanley btw and they did a mint job on mine

 

[Claire]

Just to summarise. The front bumpers are the same. Neither can have splitters too. The only difference occurs with Cups or Cup Packs where the cup splitter is on the bottom of the bumper (and this can be with 172 or 182)

The rear bumpers ARE different. With the 182 having two cutaways to accomodate the exhaust

Lol ^ Back one was a bit of a give away what with the two pea shooter exhausts!
