Some pictures of how I joined the bottom half of a Renault Laguna 94 to 98 front bumper to the 323F BG front bumper.
1. You need to remove the front lower part of the 323F bumper, from the fog light holes inwards. Leave the side parts, these provide a fixing point.
2. The Laguna bumper should be cut so that the number plate part is removed, and continued straight along both sides.
Measure 4 or 5 times, and cut once!!!
If your not too sure, or confident, then leave some on for trimming.Its easier to trim bits off than try to add bits on again.
3. I used super epoxy resin glue and fibreglass resin to join it all together. But there is better glues on the market.
4. I also used a variety of stainless nuts and bolts to join everything. Most fixing will be done behind the number plate, but you also need a bit of strength at the sides.
5. Fix in the wheelarch part with a couple of long rivets, or low profile coach bolts.

The gap between the bumpers is sealed with seam sealer, which is paintable.
Bumper is held together with stainless steel nuts and bolts.
2 behind the number plate, one above each fog light hole, and one at each wheelarch.
The mesh is just racing mesh/aluminium from Ebay. :wink:

well i know with a bit of work the BA front bumoper can fit the BG.
makes it look like a ford prob mind you.
so i cant see why the BG front bumper cant fit the BA, will ned some work to fit it.
an once its fitted then i guess you can do the conversion.

should be intresting if you do this and pull it off well!

You can pretty much make anything fit anything, within reason, if you put enough effort into it.
Go to the scrappy and take a few measurements.

I personally don't see why you would want to fit a laguna front to the BA anyway....... I reckon it would look shit. :wink:

What about this one? Isn't it from laguna bump spoiler? If it's so, I think it will look awesome. And, what else front spoiler will fit the BA, I'm really interested? :bounce:
