Face lift and Pre Face lift Bumper Supports

[Dod]

Are these the same or different?

[Jack]

You mean the L-shaped brackets that join the bumper bar?

EPC says Mk1 has a different part number to Mk2. All the bumper bars are the same though.

The bumper carrier bars are different.

If facelifting a mk1 for example the wrong carrier bar will make the bumper sit too high.

[Jack]

Hmm, EPC has the same part number for the bumper bars on both Mk1 and Mk2 :confused:

[Dod]

Right, so the Carrier is the same and the chassis mounted brackets arent

[Jack]

According to EPC, yes.

[Lee]

That cant be right, as MK1's have a pointy front end, whereas MK2's dont, so the bars cant be the same! Whereas the chassis mounts ARE the same IIRC.

Oddness

[Jack]

Mk2's have the same point as a Mk1, its just the bumper is a little more rounded so its not so prominent (this (http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh193/princess_JJ23/beast1.jpg) pic shows how pointy the front bumper is)

[Lee]

Aye, but im still convinced theyre no where near as pointy as the MK1.

Bumper carriers are differnt, the bolt holes that bolt the bar to the L shaped brakets on the chassis leg are in differnt places, how ever they revised them and they now offer one part at vauxhall that has the 2 sets of holes you can line up. The L shape brackets are diffrent aswell. The MK2 brakets are longer and stick out more.

[mayhem]

theL things that come out of the chassis are different, you end up with a bumper bar way of to the left when you put a mk1 bar on a mk2 chassis
