MP5 front bumper on 1.6L

[Guilfordfall]

Anyone ever put a MP5 front bumper on a 1.6L, with fogs?
I recently got p5 bumper and wondering if the 1.6 is pre-wired for fog lights?

 

[Witchdoktor]

tnt3 did but the bumper requires modifications for it to fit

 

[Guilfordfall]

Yeah I knew that, I was just wondering if it was prewired for fogs.

No it is not pre-wired for fogs. There is a standard connector that you can buy a harness for. If you're interested i have both fogs that will fit on the p5 bumper, one doesn't not have the mounting kit, however it is not hard to find. Let me know if your interested and i will give you a price estimate.

i create my own wire and switch

so no, it's not pre-wired

 

[Guilfordfall]

yeah i did wasn't think it was prewired
What aftermarket fogs work for it?

hey did u ever do the bumper swap?? can u give me any detailed steps cuz ive been wanting to do it for a minute now and noone ever really gives me any advice but "its not direct fit" which i already know

 

[00protegeracer]

quick off teh subject question, is there anywhere i can buy some mazdas247 stickers? ive seen a msp around here with them and was wondering where i can get my hands on some

 

[Guilfordfall]

No i haven't done the swap yet, just waiting until the spring time, and might have a line on some P5 headlights, and maybe fogs if everything will go the way I want it to.

 

[00protegeracer]

well, would u mind doing a write up on it cuz i really wanna do it to mine but i always only get "its not a direct fit" from people who have done it.

 

[Guilfordfall]

From what I know the of the swap from the body shop at my work, the re-bar has to be either cut, or replaced with a P5 re-bar, due to the fact of the fog mounting holes. Front grill on the sedan is not as long as the P5 grill, so that has to be swapped., other then that should just bolt on. May have to change inner fendler liners as well.

What year is you pro?
2001-2003 pros is just a cover swap and everything else I mentioned.
For a 1999-2000, you would need to change the fenders, headlights, hood, and maybe rad support.

 

[00protegeracer]

ive seen some 99=-00s with the stock headlights and the wagon bumpers. what i heard was that u cut the top off the stock bumper and mold it to the bottom of a wagon bumper so that way u can still have the 00 lights with the wagon bumper

 

[00protegeracer]

o yea mine is a 00 and i want to keep the headlights from that year but do the wagon bumpers. what year is urs??

 

[Guilfordfall]

Mine is an 02 so a simple swap for me, nothing really big for me to mod

 

[00protegeracer]

lucky

 

[3TnT]

with a 99-00, you can do it by cutting the top of your bumper in the middle, do the same thing on the p5 bumper and clue the 2 parts togheter

 

[00protegeracer]

o, by any chance did u take pictures? im more of a visual person

 

[00protegeracer]

ur car looks so damn good. thats the look i wanna go for except without the fogs

 

[3TnT]

No i didn't have picture

but if you come in quebec, i can sell you my bumper because i crashed my car in a head to head (i don't know if you say this like that because i speak french) ... I hit the front of my car in another front of a car while rolling... We was rolling maybe 40 km/h each. Of course, i haven't my p5 bumper on while the accident
