hi again, just a quick question. : as rear bumpers on the cab and touring are longer does that mean that they are directly interchangeable? I know saloon ones wont fit a cab but as I am after a cab one I need to know what to look for.
thanks

bumpers are the same on all models (pre/post facelift) with the exception of the m3.

Pre & Facelift bumpers aren't the same, although I think they can be modded to fit.

Touring bumpers are the same as facelift saloon ones, it's just the cab which is the odd one out. I think the metal cab bumpers are the same as the metal saloon ones, ( there were no metal bumper tourings )

The cabs kept the early style bumpers until a long while after the saloons were face lifted and the touring was introduced.

A later, facelift saloon/ touring plastic bumper won't fit an early cab. Not sure what bumpers went on the very late face lifted cabs. :mad:
cheers,

After the facelift, cabs had exactly the same bumpers as tourings and saloons. Far better looking car than the earlier ones.
