2016 bumper onto a 2012 facelift?

Post by Ell.s »

As the title states I've got my eye on a 2016 bumper going for the right price, has anyone put one or tried putting one on a 12 reg facelift van?

Cheers

If you Buy the whole Caddy 4 front Yes otherwise not then you need to modify it like the bumpers which get moulded together which you can see at several caddys here.

Sorry front bumper, sounds like it's a no go without grafting them together.

Hijacking the thread... sorry.
Whole front end query... I've not looked too closely but are the front doors the same 2016 vs pre 2016? I wondered if the swage line was more accentuated post 2016?

Either way I guess a conversion would need?
- Bonnet
- wings
- Slam panel
- Lights including side repeaters
- Bumper and grille of course.

Anyone think of anything else?

Arch liners?
Quarter glass.

The doors are different and the new doors have a different mechanism for the windows so even fitting your old (or Touran) door cards might not be possible.

I'd noticed the interiors were revised somewhat in the 4. It's surprising they have changed the regulators though!

Still weighing up whether it's worth the transplant or not on my planned 4motion project.
