I'm looking at a z on ebay and it states its a TT but its got an N/A bumper, am I right in saying it will restrict airflow so should'nt be there. I've emailed him and he says its definately a TT. Any thoughts?

Yeah that bumper would be no good if you expect air to get to the intercoolers. The dash cluster suggests its a TT as it has the factory boost gauge.

If the original bumper was damaged that one may have been the only one around that colour at the time, hence an NA bumper. As its pearlescent white you'd struggle to get a paint match, so bear that in mind if you are thinking of buying it.

yes my car is pearl white i am suffering finding body parts atm!

Thanks Baz, not a problem fitting a TT bumper, just makes me wonder why its got an N/A one, always makes me suspicious when i see this. You must have good eyes too because I never spotted the dash.

My Jap import TT has a NA bumper, I just cut some new ones for the intercooler.

 

Looks a bit rubbish to be fair.......

I thought that the vert only came in NA form? Was under the impression that the TT's were converted.

 

Also it doesn't have Cruise control going by the pod.

 

He says it's unmolested so ask him why it has an NA bumper if it's a TT. Best bet would be to ask him for a pic of the engine bay.

looking at the sill rotting away and will need to be repaired/replaced and the bumper will need changeing, and trying to get the right colour match i would walk away imo

I would say its a TT, the boost gauge on the dash wouldnt read anything if it was an N/A with TT clocks.

What vert you looking at?:wacko:

agreed walk away,. its obvioulsy been stacked. and that rust of the sill and arch is bad news.

For some reason I just had a quick look and thought vert! I have no defense or excuse for this and will get me coat :oops:

Thanks for the imput, think i'll give it a miss then, I dont really want to start on another project.

I'd be dubious too with an NA bumper if it's unmolested.

 

Also, You can never get a match with pearl white on the plastic bumpers. its to do with the way the metal flakes lie. I had the front wing and front bumper sprayed at the same time and even though it was the same paint, it was different on the wing with it being metal. That's why i had my whole car painted Arktic white instead.
