Mk3 Astra standard bumper question

[adamSRi]

Are all bumpers made out of the same material yeh? or are the colour coded ones ie: sport made out of something different to that of the black bumpers found on merits etc?

[adamSRi]

in other words, is it possible to attach and smooth/blend in 2 black bumpers (as mine were originally black and have been colour coded).

any help will be appreciated.
cheers

WTF? You mean smooth off your existing bumper?

Basically the body coloured bumpers on the Astra 3's were the same as the Merits just with fogs and from the top swage line down smooth and primed.

[adamSRi]

Im referring to the rear bumper.

All I wanna know is that their made of the same material yes? colour coded or not?

All will be revealed.

[astraderv]

I've got a colour-coded rear bumper and a standard one in me shed and yes, they appear to be made of the same type of plastic!

[SimonP]

They are made of the same plastic. You can buy over bumpers though through
Irmscher.

[adamSRi]

What you mean by "over-bumpers"?

Can you explain a little further?

BTW mate, good night out in Taunton?

[SimonP]

Like bumper extensions for standard bumpers. Bruce Laver has one on his front bumper. Looks very nice too. I know where you can get em cheap too!

Narrr, didn't really have a good night. Everyone was in a bad mood. Phil spend most of the weekend over mine ripping appart this Cavalier!

[adamSRi]

Hmm...any pics of these bumper extensions. Rear bumper preferred please.

Cheers,
so the V6 is out then?

[SimonP]

V6 is still in the car. Wiring loom is all out along with some other bits and pieces. Engine should be out in about 2 weeks time I hope.

Took me ages to find this pic. Anyway, this is Bruce's car with side skirts and bumper extension. He doesn't have a rear bumper extension. But have a look on www.irmscher.com

[adamSRi]

Thats nice that is.

Cant find anything relating to Mk3 Astra hatch on that irmscher site..hmmm...Ive got a pic to show you roughly what Im hoping to achieve...Ill pm it to you.

[SimonP]

Got to Irmscher.com then select English. There should be a menu bar on the left hand side. Select 'accessories Program', then select classics.

You'll then see a pic of a Calibra and also another menu bar. There should be a list of all the past Vauxhall/Opels. Find what you want.

[adamSRi]

Ok cheers...nothing on the site that interests me...probably bloody expensive anyway.

Dunno why pic didnt show in pm...nae worry bout it.
