    astra mk3 rieger wide arches- can you use the gsi bumpers

    I just wanted to know do you have to use the rieger infinity bumpers with the wide arch kit or can I space the astra gsi bumpers out to meet the arches? I got the wide arches and infinity 1 side skirts cheap, rather not be changing the bumpers.

    Cheers

    Thanks for the info. Not the news I wanted to hear. Those bumpers are £550 to buy brand new, I only paid £50 for the genuine arches and skirts. Ive been quoted £2000 to fit the kit and spray both sides of the car and engine bay.

    I was hoping you would reply violet, your build thread has been a great help seeing how the wide arch kit was fitted. Those arches are really poor quality considering the supposed to be £199 each, even though the construction is very good, you can see there going to be a pain to get right. One side of mine the arches fit perfect over the side skirts and then the other side the arches wont push over the side skirt right as they need shaping properly.

    I've ordered my wide arch bumpers from rieger, just waiting for them to turn up. Anyone know the best way of fitting these up without bodging them?

    Did you get a kit put on ur car? The mattig kit looks ace on the mk2's. Not so sure about the mk3, there's sumin bout the rear end.
