Anyone interested in my front bumper?

devonutopia · 26-12-2007, 18:41

Well, I've taken the plunge and have decided to get a vRS bumper to alleviate my IC piping / fitment issues on the offside. It won't be long until it arrives, so I wouldn't mind shifting my fabia bumper asap (after I've got it, sprayed it, and fitted it of course

)

Well, what can I say about it? It's an original Fabia TDI bumper. The numberplate area has been removed and the whole area meshed in quality stainless. It needs a sticker plate fitted on one side or the other.

It has been modified with a custom "frame" using bumper trim, and all has been sprayed silver. I would recommend perhaps some tweaking before fitting, and maybe a respray again as I clobbered a vagrant cone in some roadworks a while back (hard to see where it happened) On another car, the IC fitting issue shouldn't occur, so the panel on the offside should fit much better.

I have no idea on price to be honest. Thinking somewhere around £50 o.n.o, which includes the square foglights. Ideal for someone with an FMIC who wants a bit more venting. Here's a couple of pics.

Well, I take it by 68 views and no offers, that that's a "NO!" then!

C'est la vie!

i think you should keep it m8 i think it gives you car the WTFWT look

Sorry, it's got to go. I need the space the vRS bumper gives for my intercooler system.

Might even allow me to get an even bigger one.

In the end, the pair of fogs could be worth more than the whole thing as whole.

I love this bumper, it's just a shame it's dimensions are unsuited to my mods.

Stick it on ur bedroom wall as a momento, would look like the mongrel has crashed through the wall then

Shame mines a 1.4 the bumper would uncover the weenie engine

**EDIT Managed to get some fogs off Ebay**

Good luck with the sale

have you still got the bumper mate?

devonutopia · 20-04-2008, 19:27

Yes - I helped fit it to a TDI estate with about 230k on the clock around 2 months ago. Now got new one on.
