Title: Bumper Foam
Post by: tunnie on 02 October 2011, 08:34:32
Is the foam behind the bumper same between facelift & pre-facelift?

At a guess I would say rear bumper is same, but front different?

My prefacelift MV6 doesn't have front foam.  Not to say, of course, that somebody hasn't been in there before me...

Humm, getting this foam could be an issue then, have to be facelift only. Might have to buy a complete bumper  :-\

No foam either end of my mini-face lift Elite, never has in all the years I've had it.

Got the foam backing here Tunnie. Its your foc if you want it.Delivery might be a problem as I cant see it surviving the journey through Royal Fail or couriers.You could ask that nice Mr Glassback if he is going to be in my area in the near future,and also planning to visit Bracklet in the near future ? ::) ;D

Andy - Thanks for confirmation, P/FL bumpers are lot smaller so explains it.

Albs - Perfect, you got front & rear? I'm also going to need that black metal strut which goes across the rear bumper, which the fan then sits on. Any chance you have that too?

Cripple has some extractors which should do magic on some broken exhaust studs too.

I'll make some enquiries  :y

I think I still have both, will have to check (Im at work until tonight). The metal strut - if the fan sits on it I assume you mean front and not rear ? ::) ;D :-\

No the rear  :y

There is a black metal bar which bolts onto the back, I think this supports or holds foam in place. Its this I also need, project car has his missing  :(

You can just about see it here, arrowed behind the foam:

Should have that as well. Do you just need the foam etc for the rear,or do you need the front as well ?

Will double check in the morning to make sure I have everything you need.Then just got to sort out getting it to you. Still have the 4 plastic strips as well, so they can all go together - when weve sorted how/when they are going. ;)

Well, I got a door from Bristol to North Essex, so anythings possible. Although theres a connection, as the bloke who delivered it is the same one who might just be asked to get involved this time too, if he is heading over your way anytime soon. ::) ;D
Although, he is probably very busy with other things at the moment, so it may not be as straightforward as it would have been previously. I will leave it to you to ask the question. :y :D
