My tranny transformation so far (after deciding to keep it) Plus it flew through the mot so thought I'd treat her to a splitter lol I still have another door to smooth out and spray. I'm wanting to put some side skirts on her, possibly off a mondeo st24? And then maybe attacking the rear end with a st24 rear bumper, but we shall see! Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated!

hi every 1 ive been looking at all your mods and there awsome ive recently started to tidy up my lwb transit smiley starting from the back end with the rear wheel arches.
does any 1 nw what bumper would fit the rear end or any ideas on making the old metal one look a bit different as its looking old and tired, and dont realy want to put it back on as it is..
i was told that a rear mondeo or escort bumper would fit is this right..

[AlanN]

Nothing actually fits on, its a matter of getting creative, usually this means fixing what you have onto the bumper and the blending it in, but that may mean cutting and bonding it altogether, with a load of filler, then rubbing it back.
The only problem with the rear, is car bumpers are so deep and it make the arse end look heavy, even the fibresport one, if you can find one, just make it look like its got a fat ass!!!

cheers alan, i think ile take your advice and just make good the original.
a coat of paint and just blend in the end caps to make good again..
thanks again..

[AlanN]

It would be great to see something done to the rear, so if you have some ideas, dont forget to post up some pictures

Have been thinking more about the rear bumper and after doing some research i thought i might have a go at fitting a rear bumper from an escort estate.
looks about the same and it wint stick out to much so it wont look like it has a fat arse hopefully.
might have to chop it about a bit as the length of the ends are longer..
not sure about the fixings tho hoping that the bolts are in the same place so i can just attach my brackets.
if it works out ile post some pics...

[AlanN]

We look forward to it

Why not buy a pair of the MK 7 sport rear bumper corners, from the fiberglass sellers on eBay, might give you something to start from ??

Just search transit sport body kit, they usually do the front or the arches or the whole lot, so you'll need to message them for a price.

I also like this MK3

It would be be nice to keep this thread on topic, so heres my variation of the MK3 spoiler before I completely wreck it, the MK5 one which was at Transitmania 09 earlier this year and Rovers new front bumper.
