bumper swap?
« on: 16 December 2014, 17:56:03 »

hi all
will a 1998 omega front bumper bolt on to a 2003 omega?
i prefer the older shape front end, and there seems to be more aftermarket parts for it
thanks

It should physically fit in that the mounts all line up. But you'll have trouble trying to make it look half decent.

Yup - will look 'odd'

To be honest, what you need to be doing is changing the bumper, grille, bonnet and headlights (yup, they look the same, but are actually fractionally different) to give it the PFL look.

Wings the same, oh, also, you may wish to alter your screen washer system - as PFL ahve their jets on the bonnet, FL on the scuttle. That would be up to you, though, it's a little 'overkill' for some.

I'd imagine just fitting the PFL bumper alone, the cut out for the PFL grille would leave about a 3 or 4 inch(?) gap between the bottom of the FL bonnet underneath the grille, and the top of the PFL bumper

Just a rough photoshop, but here's the gap you'd find between bumper and a facelift bonnet
