Measurments needed!!!

Jono FD3 · February 27, 2006, 12:14:40 PM

Could all you kind FD owners help a felow member :confused:

??

If you look at your rear bumper you will see it is in 2 sections, main section (from tail lights down to bottom of number plate), and a small finishing section (above the exhaust and below number plate) which clips to the main section.

Basicaly I\'m needing the measurments from this split line, to the top & bottom of the rear can (also the exhaust manufacturur)!!

I\'m in the middle of a project but I need to make shure it will fit all cars rather than Standard and ones fitted with a 5Zigen system (which is what I have got!!)!!!

Cheers people,
Jono

I don\'t know about others but i\'m a little unsure which part of the the Bumper you want the measurments from?

I understand its the painted section at the top but the way i read it is you want the size from the Finisher/Bumper join just above the Exhaust to the join at the Top of the Bumper where it meets the Light? Is this correct?

Also Do you want it to follow the Contor of the Bumper or is it how high it stands without the extra for the shape?

Sorry if I was unclear!!
the sizes I\'m after are from the Finisher/Bumper join just above the Exhaust to the top & bottom of the exhaust tail pipe (Measuring down towards the floor)

I need to allow enough clearance for other exhausts to be used with the rear bumper I\'m going to make!!

AHH Ok, So you want the the Clearance of the Exhaust to bumper.

Ok, I\'ll nip out and Have a look at mine. I have a stock rear Bumper and an Apexi N1.
