    R32 bumper on Bora

    I have searched a few parts sites, but I can't find proof that an R32 rear bumper complete would fit a 4Mo Bora.

    I have called a few people but no definitive answer either.

    The big question is would an R32 rear bumper fit a Bora? Slight modification is OK, but heavier work I'm not really interested in if the costs will mount.

    I have an R32 exhaust that I now want to fit to a Bora and have it look good (maybe even appear OEM?). It appears I have three options:-
    1. Install as best i can and retain twin tips on the left with existing rear valance cutouts, and turn down the other (right) tip
    2. Find a non-cutout rear valance and install as best i can
    3. Source a R32 bumper (hard i know) and install


    Any thoughts?

    Not sure about the actual question, but I'm pretty sure that you will have to lengthen the rear section of the R32 exhaust to clear the extra length of the bora (boot).

    I was more wondering about absolute clarification on fitting a R32 rear bumper (that obviously suits the exhaust well) or going for other bumper choices to suit the r32 exhaust - other than the length of the tips issue you speak of. that sounds like a simple cut and shut to me.

    there's this:-

    and then there's this as far as after-market bumpers go.

    The Ebay special would prob be about 5-600 landed (thats pretty cheap considering the rarity)

    I would suggest getting in touch with the ebay seller and confirm their genuinity, then click the button and sit back...
