[Gaz]

no

As quite simply put, no

Hatch bumper - shorter

Sedan bumper - longer.

Indeed the reason I m gonna swap the bumper is Im making mine a Gsi replica so.Iv seen a rear gsi bumper on hatch vectra. So which places to look for,As you say this bumper is somewhat adapted and can be deteoriated. Ill go the scrapyard next week

[psl]

The saloon bumber will need to be cut and a section removed to make it fit. It has been done before but to what kind of standard i dont know. Im sure i`ve seen a "how to" on another forum for the mod but im unsure which one it is.

It was branny who did the how2

Myself id remove the coloured section from the black section, remove sections from the side panels - leaving the ends in tact for a more factory look and join back together trying to use as many as possible factory fitting points to keep it stable.

m8eys thanks for all interest and reply!! I appreciate you...I ll go for another bumper now

My replica car will be based on a facelift saloon 2.0 GL , do I need any other fixings( plastics etc) to fit GSı bodykit?

I know there is some fixing clamp in sills that should be klicked onto factory extensions.I think to stick clamps into sills than clamp to sideskirt???

Any mount brackets needed on front or rear bumpers? As far as I know,bumper reinf. steel is same on all models

I live in Turkey,parts are hardly found secondhand or expensive, so your help is crucial

just glue the end pieces on, Id click the fixings to the skirts then glue onto the fixings then press into place so you ensure that all the fixings are in the correct position. the front bumper is a direct swap

Mate that is the problem that there is no factory dot extensions on sill to click on the clips..I want to have a mechanic montage at somewhere to ensure the strength!! I really dont rely on glues...I t can fall on high speed an damage other cars I ll be given prison then lol
Icant rivet or etc the clips onto sill because they can become rust houses

[psl]

I fitted sri sill trims on my standard envoy, used double sided bonding tape, drill and screws. Been on a year with no problems

[Gaz]

use windscreen bonding adhesive, thats what i use at work most of the time, it will be fine, i guarantee it

[torsion]

Yeah.Glass stickin black silicone seems solvent free....A friend sticked door moulds with bath sylicone which caused fluctuation on board lol
The best is to use original GSI mount clips any one know how much we need them and part codes please
At worst we can use black glass slycone;)) Würth like quality brand should be ok;))

track down sikoflex of tiger seal,which and body panel adhesive or go into a bodyshop and ask them,better than a silicone base which will not last very long.

they cost around £10 a tube here and a single tube will be more that you need.
