Interchangeable bits with 440's

Post by gingherheed » Tue Feb 23, 2010 4:44 pm

I've just crushed my drip tray (underneath at the front) by hitting a too high kerb. I'm pretty sure that I can get one off a scrap 440 and that it will fit. I still need bumpers and wondered if they are interchangeable too. And what else might be?

Thanks for the offer but it's the non colour coded type that I need, front and rear. Jim what do you mean three piece? Cheers all.

The colour bumpers consist of an outer "skin" of about 3mm of plastic a shaped foam filler and a backing /mounting plate.
Oh it has 2 small fixing strips as well :lol:

If I stripped off the paint from a colour coded would that leave me with the exact same bumper as I need?
