No idea what such an item is worth, I've never ever seen one for sale in the UK, but I do have a medium condition turbo bumper already on the car that I'd definitely consider straight swapping for an item in similar or reasonable condition.

I don't have turbos, thus don't need intercooler cooling and the N/A bumpers look better in my opinion. And it needs a respray anyway so I might as well!

Just spreading feelers for what I need to get the thing looking vaguely like it should, unless anyone happens to have the exact '99 spec front end, still in not-quite-bayside blue, that was on my car back in 2011 or so when it was being sold by Peach on Retrorides!

In fact, the leather interior and clear rear lights would be nice to have back too, as well as whatever that is in the centre console where now I only have a round hole...

Funny how good stuff disappears from nice cars over time...

 

It's still got the dent in the passenger door though, and I definitely paid more than that for it.

I think you're possibly the only person who thinks that. :lol:

Its still blue.......just not the blue it used to be:lol:

Excellent, should be easier to swap if no one likes them!

 

I just think they're cleaner, and it'd stop people from asking if it was really a turbo... No, it's an N/A, look no turbos, yes, those intercooler vents are completely useless, please stop telling me how turbos are the best thing since sliced bread, I don't want to buy another one just to rip the engine out, no, I don't care that your mate's got a rusty one I could have for 'just' two grand.

 

It's more common of a problem than you'd think.

Gorsh darn it.

Then again, given the state of the paint on the rest of the car, it probably wouldn't have been worth having anyway.

I've got an Na bumper. It's cracked on the bottom but good apart from that. Free if you want it. Can put pics up later.

Will almost certainly throw mine up here when the time comes.

For free I'm not too fussed unless chunks are missing, it'll need paint anyway. Don't know what that'd be like to ship though as Wirral is a ~400 mile trip for me!

If you want to arrange a courier I'll wrap it.

I've never actually couriered anything so I'll have to do some digging on that one, and I've just had to actually pay someone to do some work for the MOT but I shall get back to you on that front.

Oh, and of course DPD have delivered my clutch cylinder to 30 miles from where I live so they're definitely off the cards!

If you can let me know this weekend otherwise I'll be binning it.

I've figured out Parcelfarce and they seem to be quite reasonable on cost so all I really need is an address for them and when you want me to get them to pick it up!

Cheers.

if you are gonna get rid of you're TT bumper can I claim it if it's in reasonable condition?

Not likely to be a quick process as I'll need to repair and paint the NA one before removing the turbo one. I'm really not down for having mismatched paint as well as the peeling bits!

But I can certainly keep you in the picture when I do move it on.

Bottom of it is scraped, one of the bolt holes has lost its metal bit and road rash is abysmal, but other than that it's solid enough.

yeah that's fine keep me in the loop ta.

I've got a busy week so probably be next weekend when I get time to remove the bumper. Will let you know when it's off

Not a problem. No point messing with paint and things in this weather so I'm in no rush!

Hi mate, I'm just up the road from tranmere rovers. Would depend if the other guy is still after the bumper. Anything else you need? I'm having a bit of a clear out. Where about are you?

I think you're possibly the only person who thinks that. :lol:
