Front bumper rarity

[Lofty8]

Are the vrs bumpers that hard to find or am I missing something.

Had someone pull out in front of me before Christmas & smash up the bumper bonnet etc , she's a cat c write off but going to get her back on the road if I can ever find parts must have rang about 50 breakers now with no joy.

I'm in Leicester if any of you guys knows something I don't :-)

I presume youve tried Skospares?

 

Flea bay probably worth a shout too? and the for sale section here?

PM Oet on  here, I think he had one.

[devonutopia]

I had one, but it was pretty tatty so only got £30 for it.  Doubt it was really worth more to be fair

 

Eventually used ones will simply dry up I expect.  I don't know where you can get new unpainted ones at a reasonable price either.

Yes skospares have most bits but no bumper. All vrs on eBay have had the fronts stripped straight away. One bloke told me to stick a bora bumper on lol.

I just find it hard to believe so many people are getting in front enders especially when most cars being broken are undamaged.

Trouble is you have those that are repairing their vrs's, then you have a pool of people who are creating lookalikes which tends to dilute the catch again.

I'm sure OET has a black good condition one and a yellow one that needs repair. I also know of another guy that may have a silver one. All down in Kent. What Colour do you need ?

[missingmyvrs]

Brand new one ( needs painting ) are around £100 from dealer

[Lofty8]

Have sent a pm to OET so hopefully get one sorted soon.

Had my garage guy get quotes for new parts from tps and he said £175 for bumper.

Group1 do you know how much for the silver front bumper? I am interested, looking for one to experiment with wide mouth mod?

Could you pm me if you don't mind?

Thanks mate

mmm... i was one of those people thinking about doing a lookalike... until i realised i really didnt have the bobs....

[kentphil1]

Please dont think I was being critical of people like yourself, it is your car at the end of the day,and you do what you want to it. I was just responding as to why they are short supply.

 

I used to have a P11 primera gt turbo, and towards the end of my time owning it, the same thing was happening there as well.
