Chrome bumpers, a straight swap?
« on: May 30, 2007, 09:59:39 PM »
seen the chrome bumpers on axle gerstl website (www.fiat500126.com) for 40 euro's each and the brackets for a couple of quid. would these bolt straight on to the mountings for my big numb plastick ones? i know it will leave the odd hole and create issues such as number plate light.

PS does any one have any advice on ordering from axel???

Cheers.

Should go straight on, I have fitted some originals to my Bis and underneath the front bumper there a two holes to mount the number plate.

should do as there is nothing sharp on the front.  You could just leave it on then take it off afterwards to be safe.
