rear bumper inserts, replacing pre03 with 03 inserts

Well I can confirm that they will fit.

in fact the way they go in you only need 4 pieces as the centre section, license plate holder is the same on both revisions.

you could even continue to use the reflectors if you want.

What did I say when someone was asking before? s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Coley has ordered the bits to do this today, and I keep thinking about it.

The TTE are cheaper and too my mind better looking. Hence I've sold to Adam and will buy teh TTE. The parst shown alome are £60 plus vat

I reckon teh TTE would look stonking on yours in black.

shall I add another set to teh price request?

markiii, the grille above the MR2 sign looks like the Chromdesign piece, do you know whether they make, or are going to make, the grille to fit the 03 rear?

I can vouch for the fact that they fit - I got mine from Diamond (130 euros):

It was a real pain removing the bumper, took some photo's too but can't get onto my site to host them - I will try again later.

OK I promised some photo's, so here they are:

They are really easy to fit (Once the Bumper is Off s:? :? s:? )

Something just doesn't look right here s:!: :!: s:!: The thing was naked s:shock: :shock: s:shock:

It was worth it in the end - the inserts look really good (the Style Bars are new this weekend too!)

The 2003 stock ones come painted, TTE comes unpainted.

liz i take it from the avatar that you car is silver

if you buy from mr t dont forget that the 03 onwards silver colour is lighter than the 02

i found this out when i got the 03 intakes for my last car

I had my 03 intakes resprayed so that they are the same colour as my car sad but true. s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

Personally I though that they looked like they stood out a mile being so bright against the 01 silver, but I know that some people say that they are a good match. Personal preference I suppose. I have a good spray shop near me so I would just run the TTE ones down there to get done, if I get them of course... s:)

I ordered the '03 inserts, style bars & a couple of chrome bits so he shipped them in one box & didn't charge the full shipping costs.
