quick one is a classic sti front bumper diff from say a wrx one apart from no fog are they a straight swap as need a new one for my sti and did not know if i could get a wrx and just put fog covers from my old sti one ????

 

its face lift car 1997 sti

 

The bumper mouldings for WRX and STi and UK are all the same for the respective MY.

So...

Early front bumper: MY93-98: all the same for all variants.

Later front bumper: MY99/00: all the same for all variants.

 

so pre facelift sti bumper is the same as facelift sti one then ??

 

No bud, pre-facelift has 3 open vents next to fog lights where as facelift has 2. they all fit though i believe, just facelift looks better i think????

I prob didn't make that clear.

As per the above post, the MY93/94/95/96/97/98 is different style to MY99/00. End of. But they are all interchangable, so you can 'upgrade' your early style bumper to the later style one if you so wish.

 

...And it makes no odds whether it's off a saloon, wagon, STi, WRX or UK car.

 

joz, I thought the bumper changed around 97, then again in 99?

 

No. MY97/98 phase 1.5 cars have the same FRONT bumper as the phase 1 MY93-96 cars.

But the MY97>on REAR changed to the smoother type.

Then of course the MY99/00 phase 2 FRONT bumper changed style, whilst of course retaining the MY97> REAR smooth bumper style...

 

OK, It's just that I've seen front bumpers for sale with rectangular indicators set into the bumper and no foglights..........

 

I think they are the cooking models, peasant spec bumpers.

Someone on here has a big bhp sleeper with that bumper fitted.
