a custom transit in the making..sean.

[MrTransit]

I put a mk 5 bumper up to my mk 3 and it looks like the mountings are different, and the mk4/5 front wheelarches are more flared than the mk 3 so the edges would sort of stick out...
that would mean i'd have to order a set of wheelarch trims/extensions off you as well as a modified front bumper!

[MRspivvy]

There are slight differences between mk3 and 4, I went to fit the bullbar from a mk3 onto a 4 and it wont fit without modification

sevew juust had a thought you could leave the mesh out from the centre air scoop and be able to poke your head through there to work on yor engine the lower splitter would act like a pillow .....

Haha! I can just see my neighbour on the phone to the police:
"yes I think he's been eaten by his transit!"

this is how the bumper should look on me van, and any other for that matter.
exept mine's not this colour
oh and i've decided to make it without light slots for the time being so as to keep cost's down light's seem to cost in the region of £90 new, so anyone who get's a bumper won't HAVE to worry about putting lights in it to finish it of just paint it and fit it

please let me know your thought's on this

God it took me ages to work out what was wrong with that picture! Nice bit of photochopping!

[Luke]

if you open this thread in another window you can flick between the 2 piccs!!
personaly i think it looks better with the lights in but i still think it will look awsome without!! and it could always be modded after to fit them in!!

cheers for that

[Luke]

ps unless im mistaken dont all mk3,4,5 vans share the same mounting pointsfor the bumper if they do then this bumper will cover all these modles

not 100% sure but the mk3 bumper might have different mountings to the mk4/5
i will check i have 1 of each

ok forgot to measure my mk4 but the front 2 mountings on the mk3 are 41" apart - thats what i think is different about them!!! im sure somone can pop outside and measure their mk4/5

are they all one unit ??

erm i might be wrong im now told they are 2 seperate pieces!!

[100ps_drw_hicube]

ye looking on ebay i can find the the indicaters but not the lights/fog's i will go and get the tape measure

[100ps_drw_hicube]

right the mk5 front mounting holes appear to be 1030mm / 51 1/4 inches hope that helps
