carl0s Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Woman drove into the back of me on Saturday. Very little damage but the rear bumper is a bit scratched & dented right above the exhaust. My car is a facelift jap car, but I think I am going to ask for a UK rear bumper so that it has the correct number plate cutout. Do you guys see a problem with this? Can anyone give part number of rear bumper from a UK car if they don't forsee an issue with fitment or anything else? Also, right at the bottom of the bumper on the inside is a polystyrene shock/impact absorber. This looks fine, but behind it there is a sort of piece of metal that goes all the way across. It's not the square/rectangle crash bar, but more of a folded metal thing. It's very slightly dented, but it's also rather corroded, so I would like that replaced too. Any idea of a part number? I do have the UK EPC, but not Jap, and it's on my desktop computer at home which I don't have remote access to Thanks for any help guys.

colsoop Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 See attached for a breakdown of parts. The uk bumper doesn't have a cutout in the middle IIRC.Also it is umpainted whereas the j spec comes colour coded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 Thanks Col. Does that mean the J spec one won't need painting at all? That diagram doesn't show the piece I mean. It runs across the bottom. It's the cutout that I want rid of. A painted square of plastic has been placed behind the number plate to cover the hole.

colsoop Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 The j specs are colour code specifi when ordering they are circa £600 the last time i asked. The uk bumper is unpainted and i am fairly sure it doesn't have the cut out like on the j spec bumper Thats the full breakdown for the bumper.

carl0s Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 Crikey! £600! Well, her insurance will be paying if she can't afford it herself, so cost isn't really an issue, but I will probably go for a UK bumper so that I don't have to cover that daft hole. I'm sure the mountings will be the same. Here's a photo of the other bit I'm talking about (the rusty bit): http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/4320/88891105pr0.jpg and here's a picture of the damage. You can see the square piece behind the numberplate that I was talking about too: http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/8481/46498751gu3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
