#1: Bumper Inserts.... Different for Sports Models? Author: SinfulDesignCom, Location: Ashford, KentPosted: Wed Feb 16, 2011 8:12 pm ---- I need to get me a front and rear insert for GTi bumpers. Have found a place online - cleveland panels - who sell at good prices, but am I right in thinking that the rear bumper insert is the same for all?? They show different (and cheaper) insert for non-sport...
Not sure about the front either?? Any help appreciated...

Op wants a insert for a bumper, does it matter the listing on ebay says protector...? how does that differ in the product?
#11: Re: Bumper Inserts.... Different for Sports Models? Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 10:04 am ---- I can gaurentee the rear is definately different. Yes they look identical but try fitting a non sports to a sports bumper and you will find out. Don't think it would work the other way round as well.
I can't speak for the front but I would imagine they would be different as well.

Makes it sound like its something that goes over the moulding to protect it. =/
and not the insert itself.

No there are only two (sports and non sports)
Number 2 you have linked is not for the rear, it's for the front and I'm guessing sport as well

Honestly don't know, maybe it's from a cc or self done. It definately isn't standard on hatchbacks. Don't trust ebay ads as well from breakers they talk crap and have no idea what they are on about.
#17: Re: Bumper Inserts.... Different for Sports Models? Author: -RAJ-, Location: COVPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 10:32 am ---- lol the hole is in the rear bumper and not the moulding, the moulding goes over the top of it. thats just a pic of the bumper without the moulding

Trust me they are different, I had a non sports and a sports lined up and they looked identical but yet only the sports would fit. Yes you can bodge it on but they stick out at each end and looks stupid.
Talking about the rear, front is probably the same.

#22: Re: Bumper Inserts.... Different for Sports Models? Author: myke, Location: United KingdomPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 10:49 am ---- The front one (the sport) is something like 2cm longer I think, Mikey knows about this stuff.

Correct, the fronts are different for non-sport and sports. It is about 2 or 3cm in length.
#25: Re: Bumper Inserts.... Different for Sports Models? Author: awirnok, Location: LithuaniaPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 11:03 am ---- Due to difference between this bumpers I can to change old non-sport bumper to sport bumper? Example, from crashed GTi model to XS model.
#26: Re: Bumper Inserts.... Different for Sports Models? Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 11:05 am ---- XS should have a sport front bumper.....

In this situation I have big question. Bumpers of my car is simpliest, like petrol model with small engines. Bu on the right side I see XS silver logo. So I decided to watch in Peugeot Backup soft with VIN number. Yes, logo is right - XS modification. I think that maybe front and rear were crashed, because right side is really fixed, rear wing differ from other side wing.
#28: Re: Bumper Inserts.... Different for Sports Models? Author: Danny., Location: PeterboroughPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 11:29 am ---- Funny... We managed to get a sport one to fit a non sport one on my mates.. no stuggle at all..
#29: Re: Bumper Inserts.... Different for Sports Models? Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 11:55 am ---- I have non-sport bumper mouldings on my sport bumper
Peugeot DocBackup won't work with a VIN search as it doesn't have the database to search, normally.

I got a non sport to fit my sport but it was a right git to get on,
Someone else on here did the same ages ago, if there still here
#31: Re: Bumper Inserts.... Different for Sports Models? Author: SinfulDesignCom, Location: Ashford, KentPosted: Fri Feb 18, 2011 8:48 pm ---- Wow - that is a lot of response. I hope this will help clear up future issues.
I think under the circumstances, it will be best to go for the sport as we are only talking an extra ten squids for the sport jobs. At least I have some comeback if they are a dodgy fit. I will order them up and do a trial fit before getting them sprayed and report back. I will also ask cleveland panels - they will obviously say they are different to sell the sport ones, but interested in their opinion.
Watch this space peoples - might take a week 'til delivered but I will certainly come back to update fitting etc
#32: Re: Bumper Inserts.... Different for Sports Models? Author: SinfulDesignCom, Location: Ashford, KentPosted: Fri Feb 18, 2011 8:50 pm ---- FYI - I also foudn this post on another forum about the fitting of them for those that said they were a p.i.t.a. There may be varied opinions about the difficulty fitting them, but given the latent stupidity of the potential breaker, the odds are on that those in question were fitting the wrong item for their model perhaps...? Anyway - post below regarding fittidge;
"You dont need to remove the whole bumper to get the strips off.
I used info from a couple of posts mainly; Remove the 3 screws just hidden by the bottom of the closed tailgate. Use a flat screwdriver ( a big one ) to gently lever one side of the tapered end from the main bumper. Because you are pulling it now from an angle the little clips mentioned above pop out pretty easy. If they do get stuck at all use a thin flat screwdriver to lift up the plastic " slot " and the peg slides out.
The front one is a little easier as there arent any screws holding it in at all "
