new front bumper

Recommended Posts

I have just crashed me car driving on a bit of ice and i have cracked the bumper, o and the light is broken as well.

Lucky nobody was hurt and i did not crash into another car, i managed to hit my metal gate post.

i have got the bumper with the fog light holes because i think it looks better then the other one, but my car does not have the fog lights on it.

I was thinking bout filling the holes with some stander fog lights but im not too sure bout it.

The old bumper had mesh there so i dont really want to do the mesh thing all over again, i want to come up with some thing different but i can not think of any thing to do with it. So i was kinda hoping that some one on here might have a good idea that i can robb off them.

Fog lights arnt hard to wire in, the wiring may well be there as for options for using a fogged bumper

 

you could use transit halo style fogs?

Splitters such as a Nissan GTR (Jedamotorsport), Laguna vented, Cossie

 

I personally think the GTR splitter really suits it without being too ott

I am having a little troble with my new front bumper.

The bumper is a patten part so i know that it will not fit 100% with out some kind of mod to it. but the near side will not fit to the bolt holes.

There is about 1/4 inch gap between the bumper and the metal bit to where it sits. i have used a grinder to take some of the plastic away but it still will not fit.

The only thing i can think of is if i have bent some of the metal on the near side where the bumper sits in. I have seen a little crease but it looks like it was made that way. Can any body confirm this?

 

Thanks

Last night i was looking at some photos of other Escorts with the front bumper off, and also some photos of the front panel and from i can make out is that the crease that i found is like that from standard.

 

So the only thing i can think of is that the bumper its self is at fault
