I know a few people are after a bumper. Here is another one. A bit pricey, but it depends on how desperate you are. Don't know how they call themselves "Budget" Bumpers though :confused: Might be worth trying a lower offer?

Sheez... that's expensive!

Are they really that hard to come by? Obviously the rubber 'bib' underneath is a V8 only item but surely there are loads of stock ZT nose cones out there?

Got a spare F bumper in my loft (been out of production since 2002) that cost me a pint of beer...

[Belcher]

Yeh, I only look for them to punish myself. When I sold my ZT190, I "GAVE" away a brand new bumper with the car still wrapped in the original packaging (I dont mean the car was in original packaging!!)

In hindsight, the stupidest thing I ever did (apart from the thing with the fluffy handcuffs and the Labrador :o)

There was an aurora one on there a few weeks ago, Mk2 as well, but it needed a respray. But the guy wanted £375 for it, some idiot paid £350 for it!

My offer of £170 was rejected :(

I need a tatty mk1 front bumper temporarily in a couple of months. I saw one for £20 and forgot to buy it d'oh!

i got a damaged silver one on ebay can't remember how much, although the damage was very minor, it served the basis of my bumper swap last year when changing the mesh. I'm not hundred percent happy with the colour on the bumper that i had sprayed so will in the future get the original bumper sprayed and swap back again

Well, got a complete Mk1 bumper yesterday for £125, complete with grills, badge, powerwash tubing and indicators! Its slightly the worse for wear, but still looks good.

Now I've got a choice, which to get sprayed. Go for the Mk1 front end look or keep the Mk2! I've always been a sucker for the Mk1 front end, although I like the Mk2 as well.

Wouldn't you need to change the light clusters and stuff as well? I guess you already have these. I really regret giving my spare bumper away. If I had a time machine, I would (1) Buy a lottery ticket, (2) Not give my bumper away !

Mk1 looks great, in my humble opinion. Bit more aggresive:)

I like the hybrid look of the 385 prototype. Mark 1 lights and mark 2 styling.

would like to do a cut and shut and make a hybrid bumper for black olive

[SteveChilds]

I agree Steve.

Belcher, i've already got some basic Mk1 lights off my 75 I had a while ago, so I could use them. But yeah, if I did go the Mk1 route, I'd have to get some Xenon Mk1 units.
