I would like to fit post facelift plastic bumpers (and front valance) to my pre facelift chrome bumper car. I realise that the rear arches are slightly different, but I'm sure it can still be done...

If anyone has information, experience or helpful links on this subject then please post them up here...

Thanks. :D

the front and rear bumpers are coulor coded metal and will have the lower
valance attached. will go straight on with no messin about..
sides optinal but looks better on. You will need to drill plugs i the side sill
tho.
keep looking in parts some one will have one..
