I have a standard mk3 fiesta and i want to fit a cossie front bumper and si rear, but will they be too wide as i dont have arches like an xr2i, and will they fit on easily ? (i will probably get them from carisma)

The genuine ford ones just bolt on straight away and if u dont have arches/sideskirts they'll stick out about 1cm where at the tops of the bumpers they're meant to meet the arches but it's no big deal. Not sure on the front. A mate of mine had a cossie one and he had to use mounting blocks and other gubbins cause it was fibreglass and they don't come with the bolts sticking out of the bumper. Also the fibreglass one i saw had no padding behind it so if u crash then it's bye bye front end :aaah: :aaah:

i have a fibresports cossie front bumper right beside me here and the quality is great.. you wont get better ask Sunny FRST, Fiesta_Fra etc they will tell you the same.. its not foamed but i am buying some of that expandable foam stuff that comes in the tin to do inside with but looking at it here i might not be able to do much because of the grill...

but any questions that need answered just ask me... :smile:

Jesser - how much did you pay for it and have you got it with or without light pockets? They quoted me £270 for one without!

I payed £200 in total for it... Was £170 With £30 For Delivery To Northern Ireland my bumper has light pods but i didnt buy the lights from fibresports, they charge £90 for the lights.

i got the fogs From Ford For £30 and carisma Style for the clear indicators also £30

.. in total saved me £30 .. and thirty quid is thirty quid... :smile: will always go toward my next mod..

£270 .. maybe u miss herd them...
