Gary

They wont fit, as the Mark 2 bumper is different, you might be better off just getting a mark 1 left hand one re-engineered, get it bent back on itself.



I have just had to do this on my Mark 2 ZTT, and an ex member did it for me, and has made a very good job of it

As said above, the MKII RH headshield won't fit a MKI bumper as the shape is very different. A LH MKi heatshield can easily be reshaped to fit the RH side though by heating it and cutting a couple of bits and a bit of bending. Isn't really noticeable once fitted unless you look closely and know what an original RH heatshield looks like.

If anyone is looking for a MKII RH heatshield, I'd probably hold off for now as I know of someone who is having the RH side remade new, so depending on the price of the new ones it may be cheaper than paying £60-£100 for a second hand bit of metal.

Any ideas on what tailpipes you're going for Gary? Personally I think quads suit the MKI best and dual ovals suit the MKII best
