Hi folks
Proper anorak question this! Our 16V phase 1 (proper diesel look-alike) has had some poor quality repair work done on both front and rear bumpers in the past. I seem to recall that although the p1 16V bumpers look more or less the same as the stock BX models of the same vintage, there may be some detail differences? Or that the replacements sold by Citroen with the correct part number may be subtly different?
I'm not convinced the original bumpers can be restored to as new condition - so want to try and find a pair of new replacements. Wanting to know what to look out for when trying to decide if they're 'correct' or not.....
A pictorial guide would be even better!!
Cheers all
Adrian
Bumpers - how many different types and can you still get?!

As stated above and after checking the parts cataloge, Phase 1 16V's have standard bumpers.
The black inserts, mounts and lower lip are all the same as 8V and relevent diesels.
I have a new and genuine Citroen bumper at home (recently bought off ebay) and it is correct. You have to cut the grills out for the foglight surrounds and to clear the front towing eye but having checked the original bumper on the car, this is how Citroen did it
