Fitting a 197 bumper on a Mark 3 TCE

Hi guys, recently signed up to the forums

I was just wondering how easy it is to fit a 197 rear bumper and diffuser on a non sport Mark 3 TCE. ive seen a few reps but can never find a solid answer, some people say itll go on easily and some say you need to change the rear quarters?

recently took delivery of a Cup spoiler as well, i think itll look best with a rear bumper to match

any help would be awesome
 
I don't know this factually, but I would think it isn't a straight swap due to the flared arches and generally wider back end. Needing to change the rear quarters too would make sense, but then I can't imagine it's worth all the effort, 197's can be had pretty cheap now days.
 
only 22 with 1 years no claims... a 172 was 4k haha
Would still be worth getting a quote for a 197 as they haven't got in the hands of "urban yoof" yet. Companies like the admiral group, adrian flux etc are usually good for young people.
 
i thought id revive this thread considering its over a year old and say YES a clio 197 rear bumper fits perfectly!

had to cut the diffuser in half as it was dragging on the floor and there was no where to hang it up, but i think it looks great

also installed a front mount intercooler + ramair air filter
resprayed my wheels in black

cup spoiler is being painted as we speak

next is a decat ( £240 from KTEC is killing me )
cat back dual exit system
clio 182 injectors
remap
- 145 bhp :wink:

Good to see something else being modified. Not always a fan of putting sport bumpers on something else but anything that improves performance is always worthy :thumb:

Nice one. Can you not mount the diffuser brackets on a non sport?

i couldnt really get that far underneath the car, but with a quick glance i couldnt see any mounting points, cut it in half, still looks normal and its held up fine :tongueout:
 
The bumper looks strange somehow. Like the sides with the flared parts are tugged in way more than on a real RS. A wonder that it does fit.
