BE/BK front bumper on BD

[bd96]

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has had experience with modding a BE/BK onto the 2nd gen legacy? I know I will most likely need the bumper beam, just wanted to know the bumper would line up with the BD headlights.

Thanks,
Matt

A BK is 2nd gen, and a BE is 3rd. What year is your car? And what was the year/bodystyle of the replacement car?

If its a wagon to sedan of the same year, yes. If it's a 2nd gen to 3rd gen nose, then I don't know.

My bad, I meant BH. So 3rd gen bumper onto 2nd gen. I made a rough photoshop of what it could look like, the colour and shape is a bit off. However, I quite like the look of it.

You'd definitely have to trim the bumper near where the headlight meets the grille. The BE bumper comes up there to meet the hood around the BE headlights. I'd imagine you'd be fine headlight wise after trimming that piece. I don't know how it would line up around the other edges though.

I figured that would be the case, my best option is to acquire the bumper and have play around with it.

Cheers guys,
