TD5 rear bumper upgrade
« on: July 02, 2009, 18:47:34 »
Some low life drove into my rear smashing my outer bumper and mangled my bumoer hanger  :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: .To top it off they drove off without giving details had their number plate not registered as insured and DVLA check isnt looking good  :police:  .My insurance excess is £500 .

Rather than put a new stock bumper and hanger on my car I fancy having an upgrade  ie devon 4x4  d44 HD bumper.
Anyone out there already done this or simular?

I know mine's not a TD5 and the bumper is not D44 (bit of a naff answer, eh?) but I'd recommend it.



Rear step and exhust are long gone!

Sweet....

is it just a case of removing the plastic bumper cover and unbolting the inner hanger and fitting the D44 bumper using the exsisting holes.
