Orion mk3 Bumpers

Where's the best place to go to buy the above front bumper?

 

I'm also after the same style of bumper on the rear of the car shown above - the same as F1ACK's...

 

Most people mesh out their grilles when fitting these bumpers but personally I don't like that look. Can you buy black honeycomb plastic material to do the same job? Similar to that from the mk6 Si grilles... I think that would look much better hence the reason I've blacked out the grille above.

That would look ace mate, um, best bet is proabley Fibresports / ESP design, theres a place near BANGOR called Car Crazy, they import Fibresports stuff over here, so you could try them!

 

Spend a bit extra, cause you will save more when it comes to the prep and painting stages!

I got the front one from Custom Autofashion, utter shite!!! although there mold is the only one I liked, all the ones I have seen from ESP are very high off the ground and look kind of squashed.

 

I wouldn't buy from custom autofashion unless you are very good at handy work, it took a week to not only get the thing to fit on the car but sanding out all the joins they left in and filling the uneven joint areas and holes they had left in.

ESP are apparently easy fitment but make sure the picture you see is there actual kit as there are so many different molds for the WRC bumper.

(I was posting too many pics so split the post)

 

For the front bumper the standard mk 5 escort one will fit, but the rear bumper has to be made for the orion

 

Here are the bumpers that I can think of that you can get, (note there are more than this)

RS Extension - valance, fits over the bottom of the bumper, best place to get this is Pro-sport (bit common on red cars with clear rear lights and escort rs2000 spoilers :drunk: )

Mk 6 Escort Saloon - bumper off an escort saloon mk 6, should bolt straight on (ignore the T@SSER but the bloke was)

German RS - Best looking IMO (thats why I got one) genuine Ford, only available from germany I think
