Yeah, the US bumper is attached to the gas shocks by two bolts on each side. They are easy to access as they are just above the front grill. I don't know if the euro bumper is compatible with the US gas shocks, but if it is then all you have to do is bolt that baby right up. In theory (as with all mechanical things) it should only take a few minutes, as the directionals are wired with a harness that disconnects as well. If you need new gas shocks as well (I don't think that you do), it should still be a fairly painless transition as they bolt to the frame near the radiator. |

If it is like a North American version there are a couple of nuts on each side and it unbolts from the bottom. About 5 minutes. |

I've got a small split in my front bumper ('85 308 euro) which you can't see unless you're on your knees, but since I am completely anal, I'm going to replace it (the bumper - not my anal). Anyone taken on this task before? I've ordered the bumper from Italiancarparts and I'm pretty handy, but just wondering if anyone has performed this task that might have some friendly advice for me before I start. Thanks all! |
