Hi
Yet another thread about front bumpers :couch:

I have a 5 door SRi and I was just wondering if a front bumper from an estate or a 3 door would fit. I know the issue about the grill being different, but what about the actually bumper itself and the fog lights?

Also, can anyone ID the colours of these two bumpers as the sellers dont know.

3 door bumper

Estate

Thanks

the bumpers physically fit onto the car. the estate 5 door and van have the same front bumper. The sporthatch and tt both have a pointed bumper. the fog lamps are the same across the range bar the vxr as they need a jumper loom. And the colour looks like Moonland or Silver Lightening

Awesome, I want to get the 3 door bumper as I think it looks better, but I need it in Silver Lightening and I think the 3 door one is moonland like you said

May as well upgrade to a vxr one

Wish I could, but my bank balance says no Have to pay for car tax this month and I want to finish up with the car before uni starts again.

As said all will fit, if you want a slightly pointed nose you could look at facelift 5dr or estates as the fronts were made to be slightly more aggressive looking.
