face lift bumper

[ibiza95]

i know there is a thread on here somewhere but could anybody tell me if the facelift front bumper would fit straight onto a pre-facelift????

i don't think so, you have to change front wings because the pre-facelift wings go lower than the face lift one...

Why would you want to lol there isn't alot of modded pre-facelifts about so be different!! Try looking for some colour coded pre-facelift bumpers or gti ones as they can look equally nice...look at my build thread as it may give you some inspiration to keep it a pre-facelift lol

If i cant convince you though, i know if you change the front crash bar, wings, headlights and grille etc you will have a facelifted car and the back bumpers fit on with a bit of chopping as ive seen in somones thread. Unless you find a mid-facelift version (1996 reg i think??) and as far as i now this may bolt straight on! Correct me if im wrong though

Dan.

P.s stop hating Pre-facelifts everyone they're still Ibizas lmao!

From the pictures above it looks like nothing a pair of tin snips couldn't handle!

if i keep it pre-facelift where can i get a lower splitter like yours presha? and how much can i expect to pay? if i can get one of those i may keep my bumpers and just smooth and colour code them

My splitter is off a Renault Laguna but i got mine for nothing from my Dads mate scrapyard. I'd expect to pay about £10-£30 depending where you get it from, I'm changing mine for a Renault Espace one though as theyre deeper on the front but decrease in depth on either side which is more like the shape of the original so i'd go for one of these. But you can have mine if you want when i change it, already cut to size with all the right holes so will bolt straight on!

Looks like a Renault Laguna one to me. Cheapest place to find one is to rip it off the local Chav's Corsa! Looks better on the Beezer than it does on a Corsa.

so if i was to get a splitter off an espace, what modifying would i need to do to make it fit???

I was going to say you could just rip one off someone elses car as they're only stapled on but i do not encourage or recommend you do this lmao!

And of course it suits the Ibiza better than a Corsa lol

The Espace splitter may require a section cutting out of the middle to shorten it to make it look right, if its the same width as the Laguna one though, take off your old splitter and centralise it on top of the Laguna/Espace one clamp together and mark the fixing points. Drill or punch out the holes along with 2 extra on each corner (where it bends and returns up the side of your car). Fix it in place with either nuts, bolts and washers or use spire clips and the original screws. Bend each corner into the correct place to make it line up nicely with the bottom of the wing, clamp and drill into the bottom of the wing and fix and repeat the opposite side! If you dont fix it in the 2 extra places it wont sit right with the side of your car because obviusly the shape of the Ibiza is diffrent to the shape of the Laguna. Then you just have to cut off the excess on each side which should be about 2 inches each side.
