Rear bumper

Post by weebrian » Wed Mar 04, 2015 3:14 pm

I need to replace the rear bumper on my '98 V6 but I believe there was a change in designs around 1998 so don't want to end up with the wrong one. Does anyone know how I can tell which one I need, either visually or from chassis number?

Around 1999 they fitted some side skirt-type bits on each side. In 2002 they replaced it will a full piece that went all the way round. All there types are interchangeable and if you fit the later versions will give it a minor face lift (or should that be bum lift?). The only thing with the later versions is that you can't use the original mudflaps.

Thanks Simon, I was worried that if I got the wrong one it wouldn't fit.
