Megane 225 bumpers

Postby Kylegypo » Thu Apr 01, 2010 9:02 am

Sorry to post a question I'm sure has been asked many times but I have done some research on this forum and can't seem to find information I need.
I have a megane sport hatch 1.9dci 06 and have come across a rear bumper from a 225, will this fit my meg and is it difficult?
also can anyone give me any estimates on the pricing for fitment of a 225 exhaust?
anyone got a front 225 bumper for sale? :P

Yes all sport bumpers are the same at the rear....pop straight on.

As for exhaust

New = £480 for back box
Ebay = £100-£200 second hand....£80-150 fitting depending on the people u get. This will fit straight on too and make sure you get mount for farthest side.

does anyone know if you can get the replacement front bumpers from renault direct? and if so how much, i figure it'll have to be sprayed up either way.

Thanks for the ebay link ;) im already on it haha, thats what gave me the idea but didn't really want any one stealing away the bargain :P

A question though... should I just install the back box or is it worth fitting the whole exhaust?
also, dont know if anyones seen these but they are tasty https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... _720wt_939
reckon they'll fit a mk2?

Got a quote from a garage earlier..."if its just a straight swap it will be around £30-£50."
sounds too good to be true so I haven't got my hopes up but that was for a whole exhaust, so surely just a back box shouldn't cost £80 - £200? Should I expect any gains from just the backbox or will I need the whole 225 exhaust fitting for that?

Just remember folks i see a few of you mentioning about a 225 bumper for a 57 plate.....this will not fit. You need to get the face lifted RenaultSport 230 Bumpers....at around similar costs.

The angle of the headlights are different and will cause issues.

Wow Nige, your a true credit to this community man haha serious though.

Never did a 225 after 2006 :) The more aggressive looking R26/R26R/230 Models started from then :)

If you have a 03-06 the conversion can be done....although costly. You need to buy new headlights and lamp carriers...then the bumpers. Wings and bonnet will fit a treat from 2003-2008 no need to worry. All the fog lights and wiring will fit also throughout the years.

There is a member on here who has done a 225 to 230 conversion and it looks very very smart! Credit to him!

picked up the exhaust today, got it for £160 which doesn't seem like a bad deal. Anyone got a 225 rear and front bumper for sale?

Hey again, would you say £75 + postage is a reasonable price for a 225 rear bumper that will need prep, primer and painting?
Thanks much guys.

They are £230 new off the shelf without grills. So anything under that is a bargain (unless it needs a lot of work....you really want to stay away from pon and filler)
