Following on from a thread I've been reading through, I'm curious what everyone thinks looks better, a UK or a JAP rear bumper.

 

The only differences as far as I'm aware are the rear fogs and long number plate in the UK. I'm curious on people's though for my black Zed as I might be able to get a rear bumper for very cheap if I want one, but I'm not sure

the poll is no good as 97% of the cars on here are jap so the pole reading wont be rite

This pic might help...

 

 

JDM for me :yes:

uk all the way the jap looks daft

sorry uk with out the fog lights

I'm with you there bud, jap looks a bit like a 'goofy tooth' IMO and agree without the fog lights. Its going to lead to the old discussion of how good a zed looks without plates! Lovely!

should have stock bumper vs 99 bumper poll but i dont know how to start a poll

I voted Jap, as that's all "proper" Zeds - SWBs - came with! :thumbup1:

U.K. For me Lee;)

Jap for me.

 

Don't mind the long reg plate but I don't like the fog placement.

U.K. For me... Lol

Jap, they're a Japanese car after all.

 

Does everyone know that they need to click on the checkbox at the top of the thread to vote ?

 

Just asking as i'm seeing verbal votes on the thread but not actually votes towards the poll !

I'm not so sure, it's more about what people think look better rather than what they actually have

people tend to like what they have due to just having it, not what they really like i have seen this many times in life

Jap for me!

Even if I'd have bought a UK spec, a Jap spec bumper would have gone on to allow a square plate and removal of the rear foglights. Can't stand extra lights randomly stuck in bumpers just because manufacturers couldn't be arsed incorporating them into the rear lights properly.

Jap bumper 100% can't stand the cluttered UK bumper. Even without the fogs, the long plate makes it look so boring, the square rear recess gives it that feeling that it's not a ford etc.

The square plate on a nap bumper doesn't even fit the hole and sticks out the bottom. Just looks unfinished in my opinion. Also less of the U.K. Bumpers around its nice to be different.

Combo of the two would be best, wide number plate from the UK and no fogs.

 

But as is, Jap is much nicer and less dated.

I did consider a UK rear bumper for a while, but my preference is Jap rear. I like both, but the Jap bumper looks a little more exotic (especially with numbers all on one line on a correctly cut number plate), they look a little shitty with a regular 4x4 style number plate with lettering on 2 lines. I also love the illuminated side markers.

Yep. :)

 

Jap for me but if I had a UK Z I would not put a Jap rear on it.:)

Leaving aside the pros and cons of each bumper design, for me the UK/Euro rear bumper is one of the original visual

identifiers that my car is a UK spec so I'll live with it!
