Wanted: Facelift bumper

[CJ]

I know its a long shot, but if anyone knows of a facelift in a breakers yard with no front end damage, can you let me know. I'm after a facelift bumper and the usual (Irish) suspects don't have any (That and the fact that I refuse to pay Mitsi prices for a new one!)

How much to mitsabushi want for one?? Slightly off topic but theres a 98 breaking in fermanagh with front damage if any one wants the number let me know

How much to mitsabushi want for one??

The guts of 600 sheets, bearing in mind that facelift lamps will cost and extra €350 - €400 (new).

Think you should talk to Steelroe here - he has a put a new shape front on his FTO and I think he used VW polo lights or something for the lamps.

HEHe - good luck with finding a 2nd hand new shape front spoiler - you might find it cheaper and easier to ram your present car up the back of a new shape FTO - claim through the insurance - and buy the unfortunate victims front spoiler from his wrecked FTO placing it back on your damaged front end.

The opinions expressed above are not in any way meant as a suggestion - please note - I do not have a new front end - its just a top mix spoiler - so stay away CJ

That was the first thing I did m8

I've tried all of the usual suspects, Mitsi in Dublin have one but I'm not paying them a penny, looking in the UK as we speak so stay tuned!

NOI, but Topmix ain't my personal preference so your spoilers safe!

Would you not go for something like a bozz speed front end - stick on some DC side skirts and you'd probably still have change from the facelift front.

The Bozz Speed bumper is too similar to the pre-facelift for my liking, that and the fact you would have to import from Japan. Dcautro skirts I do like but the idea is to keep costs down - the bumper itself costs €750 pre shipping so the lot would cost you well over a grand all in.

Nah - I was talking about the BS Style spoiler on Funky product - Obviously the genuine article is gonna cost you a lot more - but combine this with the DC style skirts and shave your rear (spoiler that is) and you'd have a pretty cool looking car.

Gotcha, still don't like the look of it though IMO, it would really only suit a turbo install whereby you can see the intercooler...

Ciaran,

Give Brian Lively a call, part number is MR555088, he would be the best bet. Not sure of the cost though.

CJ,

Did Brian Lively give you a price.

No, he'd none in stock at the time. I did get a price off Usave in the UK for €567+VAT, they didn't mention if that was new or not but I assume it is.

Sorry to be diggin up old threads here cj, but how much did everything come to in the end?

I see funkystyling.co.uk have replica facelift bumpers now for £295GBP, but how much did the lights, indicators and well.. everything else, come to in the end?

just trying to estimate the full cost of this conversion..

You'll get the the real deal bumper from a mitsi garage for about 470 yoyo's if i remember right. and between spraying and all the other bit and peices you'll be talking the guts of a grand.

A grands about right, I think I spend €850 or so, I did the fitting myself which brought the price down.
