Hello,
I have a MK2 saxo and accidentally had a shunt in it, my fault and i'm gutted!
Anyway, i managed to make a hole in my front bumper and trying to find a replacement from scrap yards has proved incredibly difficult, esp to match the colour.
I bought one from ebay, same colour, but since getting it have found out that it was off a mk 1 VTR.
I've had it for ages and some people have said it will fit others say it won't. Took it to a garage and they said outright it won't fit, got a mechanic friend round last night and he made it fit but now it looks a little odd.
I know i need to get trim for under the headlamps, but the sides of the bumper seem to stick out and aren't flush with the side of the car, granted its better than having a hole in the bumper, but i'm not sure if its just not meant to fit!
Perhaps someone here can tell me?
Sorry for my naivety, i'm not very mechanically minded, i just wanted my baby fixed, but can't really afford a brand new bumper and respray.
Perhaps you could give me some pointers on where to look for a MK2 bumper, or is it just a waiting game?
Thanks,
Emma
