Default I'm an Ebay-tard. Bought a sedan bumper!

Hi Focii, well I bought a rear bumper on Ebay the other week, and it got here today.

I have a red mark on my forehead from slapping it. Seems I bought a zetec rear bumper off a sedan!! Dooooh! Right colour an all. V'good cond.

Trying to work out if I can cut n shut or just put it back on to Ebay?

Anyone here want a ZETEC rear for a sedan? Be chasin about $140 if I decide to let it go.

if there was other bidders on it you could always contact the seller and find out who bid and see if they want it

Do what most tards do on eBay. Abuse the seller because it doesn’t fit, demand they replace it, and threaten to get them suspended if they don’t comply.

I didn't think there was such a thing as a Zetec sedan, thought they were hatch only!

No LS Zetec sedan, but definitely available in LT. You could get a Zetec bodykit for LS sedan, which is what I have.

there wasn't in the LS and there isn't in the LV. Just the LT.

I'm not sure why though, I think it's such a great looking car (focus sedans in general, but especially the Zetec). If the XR5 came in a sedan I'd be all over it. I was hoping the diesel would be available in sedan but alas...

Of the Focii (aside from the RS, of course) it's probably the one I see least on the roads (I drive a pure silver Zetec Sedan) I think I have only ever seen 3 other pure silver Zetec sedans on the road (2 sightings may have been the same car on different days), and all other colours less than I can count on 2 hands.
