How do I put a B3 coupe bumper on a B3 90

Hi I’m trying to find out the differences between the B3 and B4 coupe front bumpers.
I would like to find out how much work it would take to put a coupe front bumper on a B3 90.
Thanks all

b3 coupe front bumper should go on easy enough, madwolf did it on his cars, to put a b4 bumper on i've seen people notch the top of the bumper for the brackets for the headlights to slide into. Its not too hard.

Yes it is possible, check out madwolfs old thread, it doesn't look too bad tbh.

I did this, I had to modify the mount brackets, I basically cut and re-welded them to allow me to set the bumper back more, I had to trim a little of the bumper that interfered with some of the supports, but it looked good once mounted. however if you don't change the wings, you will need to reshape the bumper, the bumper flares for the flare of the b4 wings.

I managed to get it to fit by taking an angle grinder to the brackets to shorten them and trim the bumper as the bumper sits further forward on a coupe/b4. Bumper then bolts on and the bits where it meets the wing can then be tucked/shaped to match.

As said above it can be made to fit if you either rework the part where it meets the wings or accept that it will not sit quite right. Or put b4 wings/balljoints etc to make it bolt on.
