Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've got a ding on my front fender and Dealer says the plastic/paint is stretched and I'll need to replace the whole front. Is it possible to replace with a newer C4S/Turbo fender/Spoiler. If you do this do you also need to replace the lights and wings ? Regards Cammy

POST 2Original post

Bummer No responses ?? I'm curious about this too.

POST 3Original post

WOW, this is a good question! I would like to know the answer myself. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

obviously older C4's too untrendy to get an answer ..we need to save up for new C4s how quickly we need to throw out those flared jeans

POST 5Original post

It depends upon the year. To use the turbo front on the 1999-2001 cars you will also have to change the metal fenders in addition to the droopy headlights. The turbo bumper cover fits the 2002 cars, I think you may just have to add some small plastic brows at the base of the lights.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
