my parents are gonna buy me my 16v front and back bumpers and get them sprayed for me for xmas.

How hard are they to fit to my car?

Do they use the same fittings as the standard bumpers?

front one will need slight cutting, but its easy to do. then just fits straight on dunno bout rear tho.

cutting? where and why?

i had 8v bumpers on mine n now have 16v ones n they needed no cutting at all

had to chop a slight bit off near the top side grills on mine for it to go on sweetly.cant notice it as its on the back

are there any websites that do these bumpers apart from www.sel-imperial.co.uk - as they never get back to me?

From memory - it might pay to ring them rather than use the automated on line response thingy - I think like a lot of companies they have a web presense but don't have anyone to adminstrate it or handle the queries it generates.

I've rung them in the past and found them very helpfull

If you have a friendly local motorfactors - they may be able to get them for you for close to the web site price - they get a trade discount so may accept that as enough profit

they called me back first thing next day, just give them a buzz one morning and you should get what you want next day
