Squire Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hello All, this may seem stupid. But i'm not going to pretend i know everything. Here goes. I have a KE 55. 4KC engine. I'm the second owner, so its in great condition. the thing i can not get past is the plastic grill and rubber ends on the chrome bumpers.. Does a ke30 or ke20 bumper bar fit the ke 55? Like i said. It may seem stupid but i don't know. Cheers guys and gals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Ke30 ones will bolt right on no worries :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squire Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 cheers mate! will the ke 20 ones fit around the body? I don't mind cutting brackets and welding. I'm only asking in case i come across some. Now my last silly question.... What grills will fit the ke 55? I'd prefer a steel chrome one.... Will a ke20 one fit? Thanks again mate!

B.L.Z.BUB Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) KE30/55 are basically the same car so they are all interchangeable, ke20 bars wont work as well (fabbing mounts etc) and will be far more expensive. (unless you get lucky) I used ke30 bars on my ke70 and while they fit, kinda, it was a LOT of fcuking around and they only look good from a distance. Not sure about grills but id say no, KE20 wont work. There are heaps of different KE30/55 grills though. If you wanna do a cheap chrome grill I did one on mine and used 20mm chrome pin stripe tape to cover it. :D Thats the grill i made Edited May 24, 2012 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squire Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Ahh ok, sweet. Thanks for the info mate, you are a champion! at least i won't waste my money. I found a ke 30 front bumper, guess i'll just have to find a rear. Hmmm, i guess i could make my own grill.. Maybe i could make one like this! http://www.google.com.au/imgres?q=chrome+knob+grill&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&sa=N&rls=en&biw=1280&bih=680&tbm=isch&tbnid=KZp5nD8RixXlAM:&imgrefurl=http://www.flickr.com/photos/daddio/galleries/72157623756436094&docid=WoAdlaTT4NoCHM&imgurl=http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4020/4493097312_85260dddc3_z.jpg&w=640&h=427&ei=Y-y9T-nGDo-YiAe9y9DGDw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=981&vpy=223&dur=183&hovh=183&hovw=275&tx=114&ty=139&sig=100927967338356818557&page=1&tbnh=152&tbnw=204&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:14,s:0,i:102 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydenRolla Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 do ke55 bumpers fit straight onto ke70's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 No. You need to modify the mounts. Not much though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWhale96 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 So both front and rear ke55 bumpers fit ke70? With a little modification? Does anyone know what modifications are necessary exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I put both ke30 and ke55 bars on my ke70. The actual bumpers don't need to be modified you just need to modify the mounts, either ke70 ones or ke30/55. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Lugg Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 If you're modifying bumpers to fit you're better off getting cheap repro chrome bars welding mounts on to them IMO. Even if you go a sketchy job mounting bars made to suit they'll still look better than bars that don't suit anyway. Or take the red pill and go where no E7 owner has gone before - save up for genuine chrome bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
