Captain Scarlet 84 Posted June 5, 2021 I wonder if anyone has fitted Mk4 bumpers to the facelift model,i guess it would leave the bracket hole where which hold the plastic corner on,even so,a bit of trim to cover,bung hole or paint it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sheffieldcortinacentre 529 Posted June 16, 2021 Is the wheel very close to crash pad& column shroud? If so either column has collapsed or its had a mk3 facelift one fitted. MK4/5 inner is longer due to flat wheel & only has 2 mounting bolts (up into metal dash frame). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
