Might they have had the MK1 bumpers sprayed?

[pinkskud]

i think the mk2 bumper has a dip in the middle to alow for the grill.

[Jaymz]

well it was smooth an looked bit odd . im pretty sure thy was the same as the mk 2 bumpers. do u know of any one to try putting the mk 2 bumpers on the mk 1 ?

[pinkskud]

Thyey fit more or less straight on, but it's a tight squeeze round the radiator grille at the front.

I've got red Mk2 bumpers on my otherwise white Mk1 rally car.

Cheers

The mk2 is more of a facelift isn't it?

or were there other changes too?

The face-lift was VAG finding an identifiable grille shape for Skoda. Engine also went from SPi to MPi and the addition of the 1.6 petrol & 1.9 diesel engines which may have different engine mounts. Uprated electrics for airbags, Air-con & ABS etc.

The 1.6 & 1.9 VW engines were in place in the MK1. The MK2 really saw the grill come into place, and colour coded bumpers

[pinkskud]

in truth, the fav is the mk1 and the felly is the mk2. but commonly the pre and post face lifts are called mk1 an mk2.

i think the facelift was all to do with a smooth transition. put a mk2 felly next to a mk1 octty and you can tell there from the same family. were as the mk1 felly looks nothing like an octty.

[Felicia racer]

i have to agree they look nothing like modern skoda's:rolleyes:

however my felly is a mk1

1996 N REG

Pre- facelift

and has got;

ABS

colour coded bumpers

airbag

1.6 mpi

sunroof

elekky windows

heated leather seats

so the difference is, the mk2 just has an extra grille.

[pinkskud]

yer, and i think the slx & slxi range was introduced.

Hi

Jaymz,

are you still looking for MK2 bumpers, cos I'm gonna be doing the same, hoping to find one in silver (from the scrapper) to avoid re-spray costs. I'll keep an eye out for the same thing for you if you let me know the colour.

[Jaymz]

I am not so sure how the mk2 would fit the mk1 - you might have a dip where the grill is in the middle. The Mk1 grill covers the middle and then goes under the headlights (one whole unit). with the Mk2 the grill is attached to the bonnet, and there are two (stupid) little plastic strips under the headlights. Also note the headlights are different to Mk1.

I have seen someone spray their mk1 bumpers the same colour as their car - which made it look really different. Quite cool though, but I think you would have to prepare the surface well otherwise the paint would peel off.

[fonzi's felicia]

ye i was going to do mine, there currently standard black.then thought might as well either find exact matches to my felly or find a felly with any colour bumpers then prep them an spray them.

Pic's of a MK1 and MK2 from another thread (thanks richardsfavorit)

They look like they'll swap to me, maybe the newer grill will mean a slight gap between the bumper and plastic grill cover.

The link would probably be a good Idea:

A club member reverse converted a Mk.2 Felicia with Mk.1 bonnet,headlamps and grile to make a Kit car replica but left the painted Mk.2 bumper on because it looked more rally like. The was a slight gap in the middle but nothing to write home about and you would have to look hard to notice it....so the answer to your questions is yes a later bumper will fit and early car.
