Type R Bootlid And Rear Bumper Question....

[col666]

Is the bootlid and rear bumper different on a 3 door impreza (type r,P1) to a 4 door model?

Cheers.

Col.

This is why I am asking!-

Cheers John, surprises me as I thought the boot lid was deeper for some reason!

Do you have a source for the bits ?

I have a bumper in green.

I have a boot also but I'll be needing it in the future.

Its not my car..luckily, although it used to be! friend that owns it now doesnt have a clue about scoobs really. Was just doing some investigating of my own.

Will have another word with him and see if hes sourced any bits himself.

Its a bit bent where boot lock is too, tried pulling bumper out but no go.

I'd be for repairing them.

Get the bumper off and get a heat gun onto it, then once properly heated up, the plastic should be able to move back to near enough it's original position.

Tailgate will be harder to sort, but a good bit of pressure to the back of the inside, most should pop back out. Then just get any bodyshop to sort the rest. This means that the paint will match fine at the edge of both panels, as the colour will be blended in, rather than a fully painted panel, to old panel.
