1998 Megane Cabrio rear bumper replacement

Hello

I am wanting to change the rear bumper on my 1998 Megane cabrio as the previous owner has tried bodging scratches and various knocks and dings and looks tatty.

I have found a replacement bumper in the same colour and near mint condition.
The bumper is off a 1999 Coupe and so would like to know if it would fit on the Cabrio model?
It does look the same only difference from what i can see is there is a exhaust cut out on the Coupe bumper as on the Cabrio there isn't one at all however that doesnt bother me.
Hope someone can help many thanks!!

Hi there.

After looking at a few images I do not see any difference in size, and from that, I would believe the mounting points to be the same.

I would give the following advice;

  • use the new bumper to help identify the mounting points (and what type of fixings used)
  • Raise the rear of the car on ramps (or secure axle stands), makes reaching all these points easier
  • place a duvet or old carpet under the bumper to catch it - if a gust of wind happens or someone loses grip
Hope this helps.
