Hi
Does anyone know weather a 1600 front bumper will fit on a 1200, if not is there any alterative options like making a bumper?
the bumper ive got now is rusted and bent and the 1200 ones are getting hard to find.

thanks

If you want i can measure my 1600 bumpers, I woulda thought 1600 bumpers would be more expensive and harder to find than 1200 ones

the bumpesr are pretty much the same size only a about 4mm difference so it probably wouldnt look to bad, but the cars only for autocross so it doesnt have to look to pretty

If you stick with the one you have you can reinforce it by welding steel to the back where you can't see it

imo i wouldnt strengthen the bumper too much cos then the impact is just gonna be transfered further down the car but anyway makin one up sounds like a good idea
