Hi All

Someone hit 1st instead of reverse and hit my car the other day. The bumper is bulging at the top on either side, so they are paying for it to be fixed. I seem to recall the turbo front end is different for cooling so would be grateful if anyone could say so and whether it's still a replacement part.

:-(

TB?

If so, yes it does have a different bumper. Extra slot for the intercooler?

Part number is 153792099 for both phase 1 and 2. Still available as of Feb 2010 and listed at £623.36 then.

You may be able to adapt a standard bumper...

Check it out here ( phase 1 ):
FIAT ePER

The TB is COMP: M2 and the C2327/D2327 refers to a noise reduction modification. The later version of ePer no longer lists the earlier part ( C2327 ).

( If you go and look at the Phase 2 note that the car version changes from M2 to M3 for the TB. )

Just to add, the bumper is fairly resilient. If there's no visible damage to the bumper you may just need some bumper irons and once that's done the bulges will go away.

This is of no use to your problem, but i'd love to see a picture of the v6 turbo bumper just to see the difference.

AFAIK the only difference between bumpers is two holes: one LHS for the intercooler, one on RHS for the oil cooler.

A twinnie has no holes, a n/a V6 just one on RHS for the oil cooler. It would be fairly simple to use any 916 bumper and cut the holes yourself -you just need the frames for in the holes from your original bumper. See pic below, follow the arrows....

Cheers

Cheers for putting up the photo.

You know what i think the cut outs are there on the V6 n/a but the RHS has a holed plastic piece for the oil cooler and the LHS has a none holed solid plastic piece. In your photo the cut outs are very dark (holes and black plastic being, well, black!) does the LHS just have black plastic with holes in it, or is it an actual open hole in the bumper. I was thinking of using the LHS for an induction kit input.

the normal V6 is the same & obviously the OP can use his existing 'intakes'. Some V6's have a wire mesh backing both sides, others have a blank/fake/undrilled near side plastic insert.

I wouldn't use one for an induction intake as it will be too low & could ingest water especially through deep puddles/floods/etc.

What does OP mean?

I understand about the deep puddles and floods etc, would try to avoid them, but where would the best place for a CDA induction intake be?

Sorry Vela Blue this is well off topic.

Here you go, close up of the V6 TB LHS intercooler intake and RHS oil cooler intake.

I've reconnected to the original pipework.

Cheers for the advice Clive I havent worked my way to looking at that bit yet.
