Celica front lip will fit a curren?

Postby Jazza » Thu May 18, 2006 7:57 pm

Searched it up guys but i cant find squat on topic.

My obvious question. Seeing as a Gen6 Celica and a Curren have very similar bodies. Will a front lip from a gen6 Celica fit my Currens front bumper? Ive looked at them and theyre so similar, minor differences like headlights etc, but are they identical?

Yes. I was asking the same question when I owned a curren, and was told by xtremebodylines that the skirts go straight on, and the front will fit but may need a little bit of cutting. I think it will only need cutting if you went for the full front kit that goes over the headlights, lip should be fine. Don't hold me to that though as I never tried it.

We've never tried to fit a Celica lip on a Curren but a while ago a bloke asked us to buy a Celica lip he'd imported for his Curren because it wouldn't fit.

I believe we have a Curren lip in the shed somewhere which has a crack in it. If you're interested I'll have a look.

Got a reply from them, dam, someone whos finally helpful.

For anyone also interested. A Celica Front Bumper (Even gen6, if cut for lights) WILL NOT FIT A CURREN.

The SSII Sideskirts and lips from a Gen6 celica WILL fit. But the lips only.

Sent me a pic too but for some reason when i try to host it says it contains no data. Ill try later.

Thanks for everyones help
