Rear Bumpers....

When my car was hit up the rear, I purchased the rear bumper metal part from Rick, then when I went to collect the plastic over bumper I purchased of of Ebay, it actually came as a whole unit, with everything, ready to bolt on.

I decided to put the metal bit I got from Rick in my shed, ready for when I did the body lift. The idea was, I would do the surgery on the one from Rick, and then change it all over, rather than risk messing up the "real" bumper.

Anyway, I went to do the modification today, so I could then get it all cleaned up and painted before I do the body lift, only to notice that the cut out for the spare wheel was different to how it looks on my car.

After a bit of searching at pictures, I now realise there are 2 bumpers, one has a flat step, the other has a curved cut out for the spare wheel... My car has the flat bumper, so it will never fit...

So, if anyone needs a bumper iron for the older R20, give me a shout...
