Title: Wagon or Sedan Bumpers? Post by: Cat on March 22, 2003, 12:18:32 AM Does anyone know what the difference between wagon and sedan bumpers is?
Cat Title: Re: Wagon or Sedan Bumpers? Post by: FE_STD_WAGON on March 22, 2003, 02:53:04 AM Hi Cat ,
There is no difference between a sedan and wagon bumper. Rear bumpers are the same on all FE & FC,s sedans and wagons, but utes and vans have bumperettes. The only diifference in the front bars is the fe Specials had the " guard piece" around the No plate. The Fe standards , commercials and FC,s did not have this guard section on the front bar . Hope this helps Regards Mick Title: Re: Wagon or Sedan Bumpers? Post by: Cat on March 22, 2003, 03:09:06 AM Yep, thanks. For some reason I thought the brackets were different!
Cat Title: Re: Wagon or Sedan Bumpers? Post by: fccool59 on April 05, 2003, 08:13:52 AM it would be interesting to find out, i took the rear bar of my FE sedan and put it on my FC wagon and the thought of a difference never crossed my mind. nex

No difference in sedan and wagon Bumpers. Also Van and Ute are inter changable. If you can find them ! ??? Here something else for your fe/fc trivia, Did you know that fb / ek sedan bootlids are the same as fe/fc , they bolt staight on , only difference is the boot mould.

Title: Re: Wagon or Sedan Bumpers? Post by: HARKO on April 05, 2003, 09:23:12 PM But an FB and EK sedann bumper will not fit a wagon ,the tailgate fouls on the over riders
Title: Re: Wagon or Sedan Bumpers? Post by: Cat on April 30, 2003, 03:43:01 AM So then the FE and FC front bumpers are the same, except for the number plate surround which can just be screwed on to the FC bumper if need be.......thanks Slim! ;D
Cat Title: Re: Wagon or Sedan Bumpers? Post by: customFC on April 30, 2003, 08:51:25 AM No, the FE FC front bumpers are NOT the same.
An FC front bumper does NOT have the holes to be able to bolt a number plate overrider on. Only the FE front bumper has those. Interestingly though, the centre section of an FE is the same front and back, and is also the same as the FC rear. Front bumpers are the same on all FE's, sedan wagon ute van. On the commercials, they did not use the NP overrider, but the holes are there. It's the same for FC's, but no holes. Regards Alex Title: Re: Wagon or Sedan Bumpers? Post by: Cat on May 01, 2003, 09:35:14 PM Thanks Alex.
So that means the only difference between the two is that that the FC front bumper has no holes for the numberplate overrrider. If so, then is it uncool to drill holes to fit the FE overrider on the FC bumper? Cat Title: Re: Wagon or Sedan Bumpers? Post by: slim on May 02, 2003, 01:58:41 AM Its more uncool to pay for another one . Just my opinion. Maybe you have shaky hands.

No really! I'm just curious that's all. I think it's better to ask a silly question than to f'up a perfectly good bumper! Cat Title: Re: Wagon or Sedan Bumpers? Post by: ChrisB on May 02, 2003, 08:55:14 AM Dont worry Cat,
It was common practice to fit the front surround from an FE onto a FC bumper, I reckon its cool cause I like lotsa shiny bits and the front number plate looks better ChrisB 8) Title: Re: Wagon or Sedan Bumpers? Post by: Effie C on May 02, 2003, 10:05:30 AM Plus it helped fill up the holes that where already there.
Shiny bits rule!!!!!!!!!!!! 8) John M Title: Re: Wagon or Sedan Bumpers? Post by: RET on May 02, 2003, 10:53:37 PM Personally, I think the FC grille looks heavy enough without adding a number-plate over-rider as well, but an FE bumper centre on an FC is just the shot for fitting fog-lamps!
