Hey mate, just wanted to pick your brains about Clio's for a moment if you don't mind?. Just wanted to know if front wings and front/rear bumpers will swap between two and four door models?. I seem to remember you had 16v wings on your 4 door but wasn't sure about the bumpers...
Cheers mate!.

I didn't have valver wings - I kept it standard bodywise, well - bar a valver spoiler.

The arches on the front will fit without too much bother, as will the front bumper. The problem will be the rear bumper. Valvers have flared rear arches, even over the standard 3 door car, and the bumper will hang. You could try bending it to fit, but it will still look a little ropey. Don't forget valvers also run a much wider track, hence why they fill the arches. A standard car won't look bad, but you might look at it and go, "Hmmm" if you know what I mean.

Considering you can pick up bits for next to nothing, it's probably worth a go. I've got a front bumper you can have as well if you like. It's not in perfect nick and needs a bit of attention to one of the brackets, but it's nothing a hot screwdriver or plastic welder wouldn't fix. You're more than welcome to have it.

Hehe, hazy memories there...could of swore it had them wings fitted . Anyway, its not a question about valver bits specifically, just that Shelleys 2 door Clio has a crunch in the n/s wing...saw a standard 4 door the same colour today in the breakers and its got colour coded bumpers as well, just thought that for the fact they'll cost me about £5 each i'll grab them if they'll fit...

2 door/ 4 door will fit without any problem - so long as it's not a valver/willy.
