Is a euro bumper conversion possible on a touring?

[MC Hammered]

Can anyone advise me what is involved to do a conversion to the chrome bumpers like on my old vert?

I want to go from this



to these metal bumpers and want to know if it is possible on the rear.

it's not impossible, but it'll look goofy with the big taillights and small bumper width. There was a guy in France or Belgium who did it on a white touring and posted it up here. Mtech I, as well.

More info: you'll want to use the convertible bumper endcaps because their length works out correctly, IIRC. You'll also have to drill out holes for the euro mounts and close up the plastic bumper shock holes.

Why make a late look like a early model?

Thanks for the info and I will look into the convertible parts as well.

I want to run Mtech-1 bumpers.

If it was me id rather cut the mtech-1 plastic to fit the car.

Since I saw how the valence was attached to the metal bumpers I did not think it would attach to the what I have now the same way?

I just reread your tip here and wanted to clarify... so the euro chrome bumpers will fit on my rear end but I need the cabrio end caps, not the coupe/sedan caps, which are the pointy pieces attached to the end of the chrome bumper in this picture

[kronus]

maybe. I don't know for sure. Get some measurements of how long the lower part of the quarter along which the bumper runs is on early verts and late-model cars. IIRC they're the same.

In for a definitive answer here, trying to convert a '90 DB vert to Euros.

Damn that is a sexy Vert.

[lylefk]

Your old vert gives me a chubby. *sigh. So does the touring for that matter.

And btw, is what you in us call a euro bumper the chrome ones on early models?
Cause mine is definitive euro, late model an look like this

Yes, chromies in the UK and elsewhere Europey.

We call yours a plastic bumper with euro trim ;)
