True, and the 2nd gens are about 2" narrower than 3rd gens.

The Aerodecks are closest to 2nd gens on the front end width wise.

Is that 2 inches narrower with both bumpers off though? Because I want the extra width if it's all bumper

@91pREluDe if you measure between the 3 points I have marked in the pic to the same three points on the other side of the bumper and @becca if you do the same at your house and post your measurements up here, between us all we should be able to get an answer for you..

Not wanting to interfere, but... Wouldn't the easiest thing here be for becca to drive over and pick up the bumper, borrow it to take home and try it against her car?

I will give it for free if she will come to colect it

I thought the distance was too great to make it worthwhile ..of course, I may well have just invented that fact

Yes!
I'll be able to measure mine this evening, the bumpers are both at the other halfs work hiding in the loft space

Although the measurements / mounting points themselves aren't completely relevant they'll give at least a rough idea of whether it's worth trying one... I've found the bumpers just waiting on a price etc. if not I know of some 2G bumpers but they're £80 the pair which seemed a lot to me as they're far from 'mint'

hard to come by though!
