greig 0 Posted November 11, 2006 (edited) Hi, Been slowly putting the front end of my pug back together, rad, fans, bonnet blah blah blah - came to fitting the new front bumper and im a bit confused. I ordered the fitting pack from peugeot, i seem to have everyhting i need apart from the thing thats coloured green on this image: Theres four of the mounting bolts (blue yellow and pink) two short and two long, the long ones are only threaded about halfway down their length. I think the long ones go through the fornt and into the bumper irons but there doesnt seem to be a way of fitting them - ie am i meant to have those green block things for the bolt to sit through? Hope all that kinda makes sense. Also there seems to be a reasonably large gap between the bumper and the headlight/wing at the side - is this normal? Cheers, Greig Edited November 11, 2006 by greig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted November 11, 2006 thats a drawing for a non gti! all my T bolts were the same length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edp 67 3 Cars Posted November 11, 2006 (edited) Thats what I thought welshpug but it is. I've never seen/used one of those. Looking ta the parts CD is called a support stop so I guess its like a big spacer. I would be inclined to use a couple of smaller bumper bolts or make something up to fit. You could always go back and them from Peugeot and wait 4 years for them to turn up By the way the yellow one is not a fixing bolt its a clip for the red insert.

greig 0 Posted November 11, 2006 really?? on the parts cd that says its for a gti - just checked and apparently the green thing is front bumper buffer - do i need these then? dont remember taking anyhting like that off... Greig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted November 11, 2006 (edited) there arent any spacers on the gti http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f169/wel...Ti/PICT0050.jpg the bumper sits directly onto that iron and the bolt just goes through the bumper and the iron with a nut on the other end. the longer T bolts would probably be for bolting these brackets down http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f169/wel...Ti/PICT0042.jpg Edited November 23, 2006 by cybernck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greig 0 Posted November 11, 2006 ahh see thats what was confusing me - cos two of those bolts are longer and only threaded halfway up a nut wont tighten far enough up the shaft to hold the iron to the bumper if you see what i mean - hmm guess i need tow more of those shorter bolts then any idead where from? or i guess just pack the longer bolts out?

greig 0 Posted November 11, 2006 yeh they seem to be too long for the sides too - the short ones seemed to fit right though - ill try the short ones on the front... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edp 67 3 Cars Posted November 11, 2006 (edited) Autofive The longer bolts with the short threads do go on the front but they bolt though the bumper then the bumper iron then the spacer ( you havent got ) then the nut on the end. I guess they act as a kind of buffer. Edited November 11, 2006 by Edp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted November 11, 2006 (edited) use the longer bolts on the side mountings as IIRC they go through more metal, if not just add some washers. they are still available from peugeot BTW 7429 47 BUMPER SCREW, odd that you have longer ones as there is only one type listed and mine were all the same length. the longer ones must be for where the buffer is fitted but ive never seen this buffer, and the bumper irons would be shorter to fit them in as well.

de Noir 0 Posted November 13, 2006 I strongly suspect this support stop thing is no spacer or bolt of anykind... ...as its price is over 60! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim.Badger 15 Posted November 13, 2006 The longer bolts are for the basemodels, they attach the sides of the bumpers and have to go through a rubber bung/spacer and so have to be longer. Basemodel Diagram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greig 0 Posted November 13, 2006 ahhh cheers badger! that kinda makes sense, obviously ive got the fitting kit for base model bumpers rather than gti bumpers - grrr bloody pug parts department. prob just gonna space it out with some tubing or a bunch of washers i think. ps lost count of number of times ive seen capdown! good choice!

sherly 0 Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) I've just refitted a bumper to my 205 gti - all you need is: 4 bumperscrews (7429 47) and nuts to suit (I went to a local fixings company), 2 bumperslide brackets (7416 06) as the originals are likely to have rotted away, 2 fixing spacers (7426 24), 2 rubber bumper buffers (7427 16). It cost about £35 all in, from Pug. Item 12 (highlighted green) on the diagram isn't required - not even the pug dealer could tell me what it was for!

greig 0 Posted November 23, 2006 sorted out now, i just used the longer half threade bolts on the front and packed them out with a couple of big nuts and washers, seems to have done the job a treat, cheers fro the help guys! Greig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greig 0 Posted November 23, 2006 (edited) oh and i think that big 60euro block thing could be a washer jet for the headlights. ive got a pic somehwere of a sweedish (?) 205 fitted with one, looks very simialr to the part in that diagram. apparaently they were common fitting on northern european 205s, ill see if i can find the pic if anyones interested.
